一种极化-多普勒气象雷达的射频干扰滤波方法

A Radio Frequency Interference Mitigation Method for Polarimetric Doppler Weather Radars

为了滤除极化-多普勒气象雷达中的射频干扰,该文提出利用谱极化滤波器,适用于同时发射同时接收(STSR)和分时发射同时接收(ATSR)体制的极化气象雷达。首先利用C波段STSR气象雷达的实测数据研究射频干扰的时域、频域和极化域特性,建立射频干扰信号模型。然后,在X波段ATSR雷达的数据中仿真加入射频干扰,验证谱极化滤波器的有效性。总体看来,在ATSR雷达中利用谱极化滤波器可以有效保留降雨目标并且滤除射频干扰。最后,针对STSR雷达提出利用数据分集的方法,STSR雷达的实测数据可以模拟ATSR雷达数据,再利用谱极化滤波器实现射频干扰滤除,同样可以取得较好的滤波效果。

To mitigate Radio Frequency Interference(RFI) for polarimetric Doppler weather radars, this paper proposes to use spectral polarimetric filters. Polarimetric weather radars can be divided into two basic categories: Simultaneously Transmitting and Simultaneously Receiving(STSR) and Alternately Transmitting and Simultaneously Receiving(ATSR). First, the real RFI measurements from an operational C-band STSR weather radar help characterize the temporal, spectral and polarimetric features of RFI. Then, RFI is simulated in an X-band ATSR radar to quantify the performances of spectral polarimetric filters. Overall, spectral polarimetric filters can keep the precipitation and remove RFI in an ATSR radar. Finally, the data division method is put forward for STSR radars by mimicking the ATSR measurements. Good performance in RFI mitigation is also verified by using the same spectral polarimetric filters.
