This paper firstly describes the principle and the merits and demerits of synthetic aperture lidar, and analyzes the development of the synthetic aperture lidar at home and abroad. The development trends of synthetic aperture lidar in the system design and compensation algorithm have been summarized around improving the resolution and processing time.The review pointes out that the system with target path and reference path takes the place for the system with target path to reduce the affect of phase error and to improve the resolution. The practicability of the synthetic aperture lidar can be improved by the means of the system of mismatched reference channal which roots in the matched reference channal. And then, the review point out the another trend that the all-optronic synthetic aperture lidar system which completes with image reconstruction based on optronic processing has more real-time processing capability than that traditional system which uses the digital approachs. Finally, this paper proposes some qustions which will be further considered in the compensation algorithm.
