The measured data were analyzed by using statistical regression method and the empirical regression model of retrieving soil moisture in L-band and C-band was developed. The soil moisture in a rainfall event was retrieved using the experiential regression model, which is consistent well with the field sampling value. The results show that when soil moisture is lower than 75%, the brightness temperature is linear with soil moisture. However, when soil moisture is higher than 75%, the brightness temperature is not linear with soil moisture, so it is difficult for microwave radiometer to measure the changes of soil moisture. The experiment verifies the effectiveness and feasibility of microwave remote sensing soil moisture. Although this method for linear regression based on the data measured with the radiometer is simple, and has strong adaptability, generally it has only local application value, and lacks universal applicability for different areas and different conditions.展开更多

The effects of varying physical parameters are investigated with a goal of understanding the coupling among different resonators. It is found that the U-slot patch antenna can be designed to attain 50% impedance bandwidth as well as 30-40% gain bandwidth. By altering the sizes of U-slot and feed slot, the wideband characteristic can be changed into a duai-frequency char- acteristic.展开更多

Compound functions based on a function with binary quadric form, starting from the symmetry characteristic of three-order moments are used as the 2-D windowfunctions. Two approaches on how to find the expressions of the compound functions are discussed in detail. One is to approximate the compound function after being Taylor expanded under the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) criteria. Another is to compound the hyperbolic secant function and the binary quadric function directly. According to theoretical analysis, the first type new windows have been proved as slightly better than the conventional ones, the second type new windows are much better than the conventional ones, and the bispectral estimation mean square error approximates to 0.展开更多

Despite the continuing efforts to improve the wind speed measurements, a bias dependence on wave state persists in all wind algorithms. On the basis of recent evidence that short waves are essentially modulated by local winds and much less affected by wave state, we proposed a physics-based approach to retrieve the wind speed from the dual-frequency difference in terms of the mean square slope of short waves. A collocated dataset of coincident altimeter/buoy measurements were used to develop and validate the approach. Validation against buoy measurements indicates that the approach is almost unbiased and has an overall root mean square error of 1.24 m s-1, which is 5.3% lower than the single-parameter algorithm in operational use(Witter and Chelton, 1991) and 2.4% lower than another dual-frequency approach(Chen et al., 2002). Furthermore, the results indicate that the new approach significantly improves the wave-dependent bias compared to the single-parameter algorithm. The capacity of altimeter to retrieve sea surface wind speed appears to be limited for the case of winds below 3 m s-1. The validity of the approach at high winds needs to be further examined in the future study.展开更多

Wavelet estimation based on higher-order spectra is an important new method. However, the higher-order spectra often have phase wrapping problems, which lead to wavelet phase spectrum deviations and thereby affect mixed-phase wavelet estimation. To solve this problem, we propose a new phase spectral method based on conformal mapping in the bispectral domain. The method avoids the phase wrapping problems by narrowing the scope of the Fourier phase spectrum to eliminate the bispectral phase wrapping influence in the original phase spectral estimation. The method constitutes least-squares wavelet phase spectrum estimation based on conformal mapping which is applied to mixed-phase wavelet estimation with the least-squares wavelet amplitude spectrum estimation. Theoretical model and actual seismic data verify the validity of this method. We also extend the idea of conformal mapping in the bispectral wavelet phase spectrum estimation to trispectral wavelet phase spectrum estimation.展开更多
