Description

Rotary scanning passive microwave imaging primary and secondary satellite system
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to passive microwave imaging instrument in the spacer remote sensing field, relates in particular to a kind ofly to utilize the interferometric synthetic aperture imaging technique to combine with the aerial array rotation sweep to realize the primary and secondary satellite system of high spatial resolution.
Background technology
Microwave remote sensing technique is an emerging science and technology field that grows up after the sixties in this century, is another effective earth observation means after visible light and infrared remote sensing.It occupies more and more important position in the remote sensing technology field, has been widely used in monitoring global change, space exploration, development of resources, environmental protection and other civilian and military field at present.
Microwave remote sensing comprises active microwave remote sensing and passive microwave remote sensing.Active remote sensing claims active remote sensing again, and it obtains target information by reception and evaluating objects to the scattering response of the microwave signal of remote sensor emission; Passive remote sensing claims passive remote sensing again, and it obtains the information about target property by the microwave signal of reception and evaluating objects self radiation.The active microwave remote sensing device comprises radar altimeter, scatterometer and synthetic-aperture radar etc.; The passive microwave remote sensing device is a microwave radiometer.
Microwave radiometer obtains the characteristic information of atural object by the microwave noise radiation that receives atural object self, compare with active microwave remote sensing device (radar), have advantages such as volume is little, in light weight, and it is insensitive to macrostructure features such as target surface roughness, having obtained good application at aspects such as atmosphere, ocean, vegetation and soil humidity measurings, is the maximum satellite-borne microwave remote sensor of present quantity.
Because the measured cultural noise radiation of microwave radiometer is incoherent random noise signal, can't resemble the signal that diverse location on the platform motion track is measured the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processing that is concerned with, realize big equivalent bore.Therefore the spatial resolution of traditional single antenna total power microwave radiometer is decided by the physics bore of receiving antenna fully.And for spaceborne platform, antenna size and weight all are subjected to strict restriction.Therefore improve spatial resolution and be always the bottleneck problem in the microwave radiometry technology, the ground space resolution of existing satellite-borne microwave radiometer all is tens even the hundreds of kilometer, mainly uses the measurement that is confined to big, the mesoscale process and the phenomenon of atmosphere and ocean.
This bottleneck of breakthrough that is introduced as of interferometric synthetic aperture imaging technique provides effective means.This technology derives from the radio astronomy field, 1950~nineteen sixty at first is applied to improve the angular resolution of radio astronomical telescope for astronomers, obtained good effect, as document [1] A.Richard Thompson, James M.Moran, George W.Swenson, " Interferometry and synthesis in radioastronomy ", Krieger Publishing Company, Malabar, Florida, 1994 disclosed technology.Since the eighties in 20th century, this technology is introduced in the remote sensing field and is applied to earth observation, as document [2] C.S.Ruf, C.T.Swift, A.B.Tanner and D.M.Le Vine, " Interferometricsynthetic aperture microwave radiometry for the remote sensing of the earth ", IEEE Trans.GRS, Vol.26, No.5, pp.597-611, Sep, disclosed technology in 1988.The ultimate principle of public technology is to utilize the binary interferometer with different base length and direction to carry out the sampling of spatial frequency domain in the document 2, and then obtains spatial image through Fourier Tranform.Because the element antenna in the binary interferometer is can be by different baselines repeatedly shared and the element antenna aperture is very little, therefore original bigger antenna physical pore size just can be replaced by the junior unit aerial array that sparse ratio scatters greatly, need not beam scanning simultaneously, be convenient to spaceborne realization.
The basic comprising unit of synthetic aperture microwave radiometer is the binary interferometer, and its function is that the multiple correlation computing is carried out in the output of two element antennas, the relevant output that obtains be commonly called visibility function (VF, VisibilityFunction).The element antenna primordial line of these two different spatial.If the bright temperature distribution of atural object is called space time territory (abbreviation spatial domain), then the measured value of interferometer under different baselines just is called spatial frequency domain (abbreviation frequency field), and the multiple correlation of the binary interferometer of resulting different baselines is exactly the visibility function component samples value at the spatial frequency domain coordinate place corresponding with this baseline.Because the binary interferometer is when carrying out the spatial frequency sampling, its baseline translation gained measurement result in certain distance constant (satisfying the antenna far field condition), therefore same baseline or spatial frequency only need once sampling, and an element antenna can be shared by many baselines, so just makes a large amount of sparse of the element number of array antenna of same physical pore size.
Synthetic aperture microwave radiometer is actually the set of the binary interferometer of one group of CU common unit antenna.The length of these different baselines and direction have covered the whole space that (is decided by long baseline) from the low frequency to the high frequency in the two-dimensional space frequency, the radiation brightness that the visibility function sampled value of its instantaneous output has constituted target being observed is distributed in the Fourier Tranform in the projection of antenna array aperture.Therefore, the radiation brightness distributed image can obtain by anti-Fourier Tranform or other numerical transformation algorithm of visibility function measurement result.
According to top analysis, the design (being the locus distribution of element antenna) of how to make up by different baselines realizes the big as far as possible and covering uniformly to the spatial frequency domain sampling, just becomes the key issue of interferometric synthetic aperture imaging technique.Difference (also being the difference of baseline composite design mode) according to the sparse mode of aerial array, present interferometric synthetic aperture microwave radiometer mainly is divided into peacekeeping two dimension two big classes, as document [3] D.M.LeVine, " Synthetic aperture radiometer system ", IEEE Trans.MTT, Vol.47, No.12, pp.2228-2236, Dec, disclosed in 1999.
The one dimension synthetic aperture microwave radiometer generally adopts flagpole antenna to form sparse antenna array, is only utilizing shaft-like true narrow beam to realize required resolution along the rail direction, and is handing over the rail direction to adopt the synthetic aperture technology to obtain required narrow beam.Therefore unidimensional system is actually a synthetic aperture-true aperture and is blended into the picture system, and the design of baseline only need be considered the difference of base length, does not have the difference of direction.The one dimension synthetic aperture microwave radiometer is representative with the ESTAR (Electronically Scanned Thinned Array Radiometer is called for short ESTAR) of the U.S., as shown in Figure 1, and numeral 1 expression antenna array, numeral 2 expression target areas.This system was succeeded in developing in 1988 under the support of NASA (NASA) by U.S. Massachusetts university (UMASS), and made a large amount of air-borne test (Washita92 in the nineties, Washita94, SGP97, SGP99 etc.), obtained a large amount of test figures, and parameters such as soil moisture, seawater salineness have been done inverting, the strong synthetic aperture technology of having verified is applied to the feasibility of passive microwave remote sensing with advanced.ESTAR is one of comparatively ripe at present synthetic aperture microwave radiometer, among its follow-up spaceborne version HydroSTAR is also developing.
Domestic at present to one dimension synthetic aperture Study on Technology also comparative maturity, Space Sci. ﹠ Application Research Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences successively successfully developed the airborne synthetic aperture microwave radiometer of one dimension of two C-bands and X-band in 2001 and 2004, and fly to test successfully the airborne microwave radiometric image that obtains the high spatial resolution of knowing clearly by the school, list of references [4] Hao Liu, Ji Wu, Shouzheng Ban, etc, " The CAS Airborne X-bandSynthetic Aperture Radiometer:System Configuration and ExperimentalResults ", Proceeding of 2004 IEEE International Geoscience and RemoteSensing Symposium (IGARSS ' 04), Alaska, USA.
For the spaceborne system of one dimension, its deficiency is: owing to still needing to utilize the true aperture of Waveguide slot antenna to obtain spatial resolution along the rail direction, so the further reduction of the bulking value of antenna is restricted; And, when the receiving element one-dimensional linear distributes, provablely identical baseline combination can appear inevitably when the unit number greater than 4 the time.This will cause under the bigger situation in aperture, and the redundancy of baseline will increase.
The two-dimensional synthetic aperture microwave radiometer all is being to adopt the synthetic aperture technology to realize obtaining the required narrow beam of high spatial resolution along rail and friendship rail direction.Different with unidimensional system, two-dimensional synthetic aperture radiometer is realized the effectively sparse of aerial array on two-dimentional aperture plane, has brought into play the superiority of synthetic aperture technology to greatest extent.Distributing on two dimensional surface of baseline, the design of baseline combination must be considered the optimization of base length and base direction simultaneously.Typical two-dimentional system with Europe at the MIRAS that grinds (Microwave Imaging Radiometer using ApertureSynthesis, be called for short MIRAS) be representative, as list of references [5]: M.Mart í n-Neira and J.M.Goutoule, " MIRAS-A two-dimensional aperture-synthesis radiometer for soilmoisture and ocean salinity observations; " ESA Bulletin, no.92, pp.95-104, Nov.1997; In disclosed technology.MIRAS adopts the sparse scheme of Y type aerial array, and every brachium reaches 4.5 meters, and total system contains 69 antennas and receiver unit, and about 5000 correlators, is present state-of-the-art synthetic aperture radiometer system.The notion of MIRAS 1994 is proposed by European Space Agency (ESA), and be determined ESA soil moisture and seawater salinity earth observation satellite (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinitymission in 1998, SMOS) unique load, this satellite are estimated in emission in 2007.But for existing two-dimentional system, for example Y shape, U-shaped, cruciform, still there is the situation that the receiving element one-dimensional linear is arranged in its part, and the situation of the baseline redundancy under the one-dimensional case therefore also inevitably can occur.
The synthetic aperture radiometer system of the above existing high resolution of introducing of analysis-by-synthesis, no matter be to be the unidimensional system of representative with ESTAR or to be the two-dimentional system of representative with MIRAS, the design of its sparse antenna array is all fixing not to be scanned, just, obtain different baseline combinations by to the optimization of antenna element on two-dimensional space distributes.
Really, one of original intention of interferometric synthetic aperture notion introducing passive remote sensing earth observation is exactly the difficulty for fear of large aperture antenna mechanical scanning.But the difficulty that reduces the emission volume and the weight of antenna and evade antenna mechanical scanning by such mode also has cost, that is exactly the complicated of whole radiometer system, each element antenna all needs to be equipped with separately a receiver, and the intermediate frequency output of all receivers need be input to the correlator related operation of writing in reply.This point is particularly outstanding in two-dimentional system, with MIRAS is example, total system comprises 69 receivers and the digital correlator array that reaches 5000 unit, and this will increase the cost and the difficulty of systems engineering development undoubtedly, and the stability and the system calibration of system works brought great challenge.
Therefore, the deficiencies in the prior art just need a kind of improved synthetic aperture passive microwave imaging system.
Summary of the invention
