Description

Ionosphere tomography method fusing satellite-borne complete polarization SAR and GPS
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of radar detection, in particular to an ionosphere tomography method, computer equipment and a computer readable storage medium fusing satellite-borne full-polarization SAR and GPS.
Background
In the atmospheric layer region 60-1000 km away from the earth's surface, there are a large number of free electrons and ions, forming the earth's ionosphere. Changes in the ionosphere can disrupt the orbit of radio communication systems, ground grids, satellites and space debris, and seismic precursors can also cause abnormal changes in electron density. The study of the ionosphere not only facilitates the understanding of the ionosphere itself, the search for methods to avoid ionosphere effects and to utilize the ionosphere, but also facilitates the development of relevant theories and applications in the field of geology.
Conventional global navigation system (GPS) -based ionospheric tomography (CIT) techniques receive several GPS satellite signals by ground-based reception stations, and derive a total ionospheric electron content (TEC) value on a path, where TEC is defined as an integral of the total electron content of the path per unit area. According to the path TEC, the projection length of the ray in the ionosphere divided into a plurality of grids and the iteration initial value, the electron density value of the space can be finally reconstructed. However, the final precision of the CIT depends on the accuracy of the initial values of the iteration on the one hand and on the sparseness of the rays on the other hand. When the number of available rays is small or the number of ground stations is small, the accuracy is significantly reduced. The GPS satellite orbit is fixed and far away from the ground, the detection stability is poor, and the detection precision is limited.

For ease of calculation, the ionization region can be uniformly divided into n grids in a matrix form, as shown in fig. 2. The value range of n can be selected according to the size of the ionosphere area to be measured and the precision required, and is not further limited herein. If more meshes need to be segmented, the value of N should be increased accordingly.

Preferably, in step S5, the electron density distribution in the ionization region is obtained after at least 5 iterations.
As shown in FIG. 2, in a specific embodiment, 6 ground receiving stations distributed at intervals are adopted to receive GPS signals and reflect SAR signals, white small squares in FIG. 2 represent GPS satellite positions (1 to N) for acquiring N groups of rays, gray small squares represent SAR satellite positions for acquiring a group of rays, and the grid area isThe ionization layer area is horizontally detected within 200km, and the vertical range is 100km to 500km. After the SAR satellite signal passes through the ionosphere, the SAR acquires echo scattering matrix information, passing through the off-diagonal elements (i.e., Z) in the scattering matrix 12 、Z 21 ) And the Faraday rotation angle offset omega caused by the ionosphere region can be inverted, and then the TEC value of each ray path corresponding to the SAR can be deduced. The ionization region is divided into n grids, coordinate values of each grid are obtained, and the electron density value in each grid is assumed to be constant. Each grid size can be set to 10km x 10km, i.e. there are 800 grids. In addition, since the CIT technology needs to provide the iterative initial value N of the spatial electron density distribution ini And obtaining an initial electron density value of each grid as an iteration initial value through an ionosphere IRI empirical model. Lambda is used for space electron density reconstruction based on iteration k The relaxation factor can take a value of 0.5. The space electron density value N can be reconstructed by 5 general iterations fin And obtaining the electron density distribution in the ionization layer region.
As shown in fig. 3 (a) to 3 (c), fig. 3 (a) shows the real electron density distribution, fig. 3 (b) shows the method provided by the present invention to fuse the SAR and GPS inversion results, and the root mean square value of the difference between the SAR and the real value is 2.3527e 9 /m 3 Closer to that shown in FIG. 3 (a), FIG. 3 (c) shows that the conventional method only uses the result of the GPS inversion, and lacks a high elevation ray whose root mean square value is 5.9287e from the true value 9 /m 3 The difference from the graph (a) is large. It can be seen that when imaging is performed only by using the GPS method, if high elevation angle rays are missing and no other source is used for compensation, the error of the reconstruction result is large. The ionosphere tomography method fusing the satellite-borne full-polarization SAR and the GPS can effectively improve the reconstruction accuracy only by adding a group of rays corresponding to the SAR, and does not need to supplement data from other sources.
