多扫频接收方案改善电离层相位失真估计的算法

提出了一种新的多扫频接收方案,以改进对电离层相位路径失真的估计精度。该方案无需对发射端进行改动,只在接收端采用多扫频信号进行混频,即可分离出含有相同的电离层相位路径失真信息的多通道数据。利用多通道数据可获得比单通道数据更好的相位失真估计。通过理论推导和仿真实验,验证了提出方案的有效性。

一种基于多扫频接收方案的电离层相位失真估计算法

高频天波超视距雷达(OTHR)利用电离层的反射,具有超视距监测大区域范围内目标的能力。但电离层的时变性将导致长相干积累时间条件下相位路径失真,造成回波谱展宽,不利于舰船目标的检测。本文提出了一种基于多扫频接收方案的电离层相位失真估计算法,可获得很高的相位路径失真估计精度。通过详细的理论推证和仿真实验验证了该方案的可行性。

ESTIMATION OF DOPPLER CENTROID FREQUENCY IN SPACEBORNE SCANSAR

Doppler centroid frequency is an essential parameter in the imaging processing of the Scanning mode Synthetic Aperture Radar (ScanSAR). Inaccurate Doppler centroid frequency will result in ghost images in imaging result. In this letter, the principle and algorithms of Doppler centroid frequency estimation are introduced. Then the echo data of ScanSAR system is analyzed. Based on the algorithms of energy balancing and correlation Doppler estimator in the estimation of Doppler centroid frequency in strip mode SAR, an improved method for Doppler centroid frequency estimation in ScanSAR is proposed. The method has improved the accuracy of Doppler centroid frequency estimation in ScanSAR by zero padding between burst data. Finally, the proposed method is validated with the processing of ENVIronment SATellite Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ENVISAT ASAR) wide swath raw data.
