HJ-1-C卫星合成孔径雷达载荷的设计与实现

The Load Design and Implementation of HJ-1-C Space-borne SAR

HJ-1-C是我国环境与灾害监测小卫星"2+1"星座中的一颗合成孔径雷达(SAR)卫星,工作于S波段,具有5 m分辨率。SAR载荷采用网状反射面天线和大功率放大器方案,具有重量轻、效率高的特点,适合于小卫星平台。目前HJ-1-C卫星已在轨运行,获得我国首批S波段星载SAR图像,图像质量高,地物信息丰富,表明SAR载荷的设计合理,试验和测试充分。HJ-1-C卫星将为我国减灾和环境应用发展做出贡献。该文将对HJ-1-C卫星SAR载荷的设计和研制进行全面介绍,包括其主要功能和技术指标,各部分的设计,以及研制、测试和试验工程,最后给出其在轨获得的图像。

HJ-1-C is a Synthetic Aperture Radar （SAR） satellite in the Constellation of ＂2＋1＂ for China environment and disaster monitoring. It works at S-band with a resolution of 5 m. SAR payload uses a reflector antenna and a high-power concentrated transmitter. Its light weight and high efficiency is very suitable for a small satellite platform. Now HJ-1-C satellite has been launched into orbit and has acquired Chinese first S-band SAR images from space, which demonstrate excellent quality and rich information about scenes imaged. This success verifies our design, testing and experiment work on the payload. With its following operation, HJ-1-C satellite is expected to make a great contribution to the applications of environment protection and disaster monitoring in China. This paper introduces the design and development of HJ-1-C SAR payload, present its main parameters and performance, describes its device details and its manufacture, testing and experiment process. Some images acquired in the orbit are showed.
