Azimuth multi-channel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a core technology for achieving high-resolution wide-swath (HRWS) imaging. However, inter-channel phase inconsistency causes image amplitude distortion and phase accuracy degradation, which severely affects subsequent applications. Existing phase error estimation methods face specific limitations: the performance of subspace-based approaches degrades in complex scenes due to unreliable covariance matrix estimation, while conventional frequency-domain correlation methods rely on manual selection of strong scatterers, introducing inefficiency and subjectivity that precludes autonomous deployment. To address these issues, this paper proposes a geometry-driven inter-channel phase error estimation framework based on Global Radar Landmark Control Point Library (GRL-CP). The proposed framework replaces scene-dependent target selection with geometric-prior-driven control point activation. The GRL-CP library stores only the geodetic coordinates and scattering stability attributes of globally persistent radar landmarks, rather than image patches. For a new SAR acquisition, the echo position of these landmarks are predicted using a range–Doppler geometric model, enabling fully automatic and reliable control point activation. Based on the activated radar landmarks, inter-channel phase error is estimated using a frequency-domain correlation scheme. Experimental results on multi-channel spaceborne SAR datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves improved stability and accuracy under complex terrain scenarios.
