Description

Satellite-borne multi-base SAR system channel performance index measuring method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of microwave remote sensing, and particularly relates to a method for measuring performance indexes of a satellite-borne multi-base SAR system channel.
Background
According to application requirements, the multi-base SAR system receives and transmits the information in one transmission mode so as to obtain multi-angle information of the ground target, achieve multi-angle fusion of the target, and meanwhile can obtain the elevation, the motion characteristics and the like of the ground target. The multi-base SAR system is developed, the domestic start is just started, and a method for borrowing the channel performance index test among related multi-base SAR systems does not exist.
The schematic diagram of the satellite-borne multi-base SAR system is shown in figure 1. The multi-base SAR system comprises a plurality of SAR systems. Each SAR system is provided with an independent transmitting link and an independent receiving link, the transmitting link is composed of a transmitting channel and an antenna array surface, the receiving link is composed of a receiving channel and an antenna array surface, and the antenna array surface is used as a part of the transmitting link and the receiving link to realize linear frequency modulation signal space transmission and echo signal space receiving. When the multi-base SAR system works, a plurality of SAR systems must ensure time synchronization, wherein one SAR system transmits a chirp signal ST, and other SAR systems simultaneously receive an echo signal SR. Each SAR can independently transmit a chirp signal and receive an echo signal, and can also realize the reception of only the echo signal. In the operation of the multi-base SAR system, a satellite which simultaneously transmits and receives signals of the SAR system is called a primary satellite, and a satellite which only receives signals of other SAR systems is called a secondary satellite. If SAR1 is the main satellite in FIG. 1, the transmission process of the transmitting and receiving signals is shown by a solid line, SAR1 transmits a chirp signal ST 1 SAR1 receives the echo signal as SR 11 SAR2 receives the echo signal as SR 21 The SARn received echo signal is SR n1 . If the SARn is the main satellite, the transmission process of the transmitting and receiving signals is shown by a dotted line, and the SARn transmits a linear frequency modulation signal ST n The SARn received echo signal is SR nn SAR1 receives the echo signal as SR 1n SAR2 receives the echo signal as SR 2n
Based on the above analysis, it is possible to,different error data can be introduced due to different paths of signals transmitted and received in the transmitting and receiving processes of the multi-base SAR system. For a single SAR system, the phase error Δ Φ 1 introduced by the transmit chain and the phase error Δ Φ 2 introduced by the receive chain, which are compensated into the frequency modulated signal, are extracted during development. If the ideal fm signal is: ae The compensated fm signal is: ae j(φ-Δφ1-Δφ2) The frequency-modulated signal passing through a transmission link (K) 1 Ae jΔφ1 ) And a receiving link (K) 2 Ae jΔφ2 ) Then, the system receives the echo signals as follows: k 1 K 2 Ae In which K is 1 And K 2 Amplitude weighting coefficients for the transmit chain and the receive chain, respectively. In the multi-base SAR system, the case where SAR1 is the primary satellite and the others are the secondary satellites, and the case where the signals are received by each SAR is shown in fig. 2. SAR1 transmits frequency-modulated signal Ae j(φ-Δφ11-Δφ12) Receiving echo signals through a self transmitting link and a self receiving link is as follows: k is 11 K 12 Ae j(φ) (ii) a Through the transmitting link of SAR1 and the receiving link of SAR2, SAR2 receives the echo signals as: k 11 K 22 Ae j(φ-Δφ12+Δφ22) (ii) a Through a transmitting link of the SAR1 and a receiving link of the SARn, the receiving echo signal of the SARn is: k 11 K n2 Ae j(φ-Δφ12+Δφn2) . The multi-base SAR system transmits signals through different receiving links, and different errors can be introduced into the amplitude and the phase of echo signals.
Accordingly, in the development of a single SAR system, the reception of the echo signal K is taken into account 1 K 2 Ae The system phase error has been compensated, as long as the amplitude weighting K of the transmitting chain is strengthened 1 And receive chain amplitude weighting K 2 The control of the caused amplitude error, the self-sending and the self-receiving can ensure that the performance of a receiving and transmitting channel meets the imaging requirement, and the performance of the receiving and transmitting channel mainly refers to a signal broadening coefficient, a Peak Side Lobe Ratio (PSLR) and an integral side lobe ratio (SSLR). In the development of a multi-base SAR system, each independent SAR completes the development and can work as a primary satellite or a secondary satellite. When the SAR system works as a main satellite, the SAR system sends the data to the main satelliteThe channel phase error is compensated and the amplitude error is controlled within a certain range, so that the channel performance index requirement can be met. When the SAR works as a satellite, the SAR receives a transmitting linear frequency modulation signal (transmitted by the SAR) of the satellite, and different phase errors and amplitude errors are introduced through a receiving link (self-receiving) of the SAR, so that the performance index of a channel is influenced. Taking the SAR1 dominant star situation, the SARn receives the echo signal K 11 K n2 Ae j(φ-Δφ12+Δφn2) The signal introduces a new phase error (Δ φ = - Δ φ 12+ Δ φ n 2), amplitude weighting coefficient (K) 11 K n2 ) Certain amplitude errors can be caused, the performance index of a channel can be influenced inevitably, and the imaging quality of the multi-base SAR system is influenced. This requires a prior estimation of the performance indicators that the SAR sends and receives from the ground.
Considering that the measurement of the SAR system involves high power, both the system transmission and reception must be performed in a dark room, and multibasic SAR is no exception. The construction cost of the darkroom is high, the cost is higher when the darkroom is large in scale, and a darkroom with the size of 20m multiplied by 30m is calculated to be a medium-large darkroom. The antenna array face size is basically around 10m for the low-orbit SAR system. A medium sized darkroom can hold up to 2 SAR systems. Meanwhile, the SAR production period and the unit production capacity are considered, multiple bases of SAR cannot be produced at the same time, and the test is completed at the same time.
