Summary:This paper firstly reviews the history and trends in development of spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite technology in American and European countries. Besides, the basic information of the launched satellites and the future satellite plans are introduced. Then this paper summaries and assorts the imaging algorithm of spaceborn SAR satellite and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of each algorithm. Moreover, the scope and the application status of each algorithm are presented. And then the paper elaborates trends of SAR imaging algorithm, which mainly introduces the algorithms based on compressive sensing theory and new image modes, and the results of simulation are also illustrated. At last, the paper summaries the development direction of spaceborne SAR imaging algorithm.
