Holographic synthetic aperture radar (HoloSAR) introduces a cutting-edge three-dimensional (3-D) imaging mode to the field of synthetic aperture radar (SAR), enriching the scattering information of targets by observing them across multiple spatial dimensions. However, independent phase errors among baselines, such as those caused by platform jitter and measurement inaccuracies, pose significant challenges to imaging quality. The phase gradient autofocus (PGA) method effectively estimates phase errors, but struggles to accurately estimate the linear component, causing vertical shift in HoloSAR subaperture imaging result. Therefore, this paper proposes a PGA-based phase error compensation method for HoloSAR to address the vertical shift issue caused by linear phase errors. This method can achieve phase error correction in both the echo domain and image domain with enhanced efficiency. Experimental results of simulated targets and real data from the GOTCHA system demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed method.
