IMU/GPS测量误差对斜视条件下机载重轨干涉SAR系统性能的影响分析

Performance Analysis of Measurement Inaccuracies of IMU/GPS on Airborne Repeat-pass Interferometric SAR in the Presence of Squint

在基于测量数据的机载重轨干涉SAR运动补偿中,IMU/GPS测量误差和地物目标定位误差会引入残余运动误差,进而对SAR成像及干涉测量产生影响。该文针对上述两类误差,在斜视条件下建立了残余运动误差数学模型,并进一步分析了两类误差对残余运动误差的影响,在残余运动误差分析的基础上重点讨论了不同形式的IMU/GPS测量误差对干涉SAR图像质量、干涉相位、DEM精度的影响。该文通过理论和仿真分析定量研究了残余运动误差对机载重轨干涉SAR系统的性能影响,为机载重轨干涉SAR系统设计和信号处理提供了参考依据。

In the MOtion COmpensation （MOCO） approach to airborne repeat-pass interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar （SAR） based on motion measurement data, the measurement inaccuracies of Inertial Measurement Unit/Global Positioning System （IMU/GPS） and the positioning errors of the target, which may contribute to the residual uncompensated motion errors, affect the imaging result and interferometric measurement. Considering the effects of the two types of error, this paper builds a mathematical model of residual motion errors in presence of squint, and analyzes the effects on the residual motion errors induced by the measurement inaccuracies of IMU/GPS and the positioning errors of the target. In particular, the effects of various measurement inaccuracies of IMU/GPS on interferometric SAR image quality, interferometric phase, and digital elevation model precision are disscussed. Moreover, the paper quantitatively researches the effects of residual motion errors on airborne repeat-pass interferometric SAR through theoretical and simulated analyses and provides theoretical bases for system design and signal processing.
