Terahertz synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can achieve high-resolution imaging of the target area through a large bandwidth, while squint imaging can flexibly detect the target area by adjusting the beam direction. However, the two-dimensional coupling effect intensifies under squint conditions, making it challenging for traditional frequency domain algorithms for high-resolution imaging. This paper analyzes the Doppler variations and proposes a two-dimensional decoupling algorithm for squint SAR imaging in the terahertz band. The proposed algorithm decouples in the time domain and combines the improved frequency scaling operation with the azimuthal nonlinear frequency scaling operation to obtain the focused SAR image. Compared to the Range Doppler algorithm and nonlinear frequency scaling algorithm, the simulation and experimental results verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, which demonstrates the application potential for squint SAR imaging in the terahertz band.
