Simulation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an important means for studying the imaging radar. Based on the analysis of SAR' s imaging simulation principle, a method of SAR' s real-time imaging simulation is given with scene simulation software Vega. Based on software platform Visual C++ creator Vega, an airborne SAR imaging simulation system is designed. Various parameters that have influences on the imaging quality of airborne SAR are analyzed. A series of key techniques are discussed such as the development flow of airborne SAR imaging simulation software by Vega radar simulation module RadarWorks and the implementation of the whole system. The simulation results show that this simulation system can realistically simulate the performance of SAR imaging systems.
