Background technology
Interference synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology is on traditional SAR remote sensing technology basis, in conjunction with differential GPS and inertia measurement technology and the new spatial remote sensing technology that grows up has round-the-clock, the round-the-clock characteristics of obtaining the digital elevation image.The interference SAR technology is measured traditional SAR and is extended to three dimensions from high-resolution object image two-dimensionally, is considered to the unprecedented earth observation from space technology that has potentiality.
Polarization (or multipolarization) synthetic-aperture radar is can provide the abundantest target measurement information at present, helps identification of targets, can solve the problem that traditional single polarization radar cann't be solved.Polarization SAR can measurement target the complete polarization scattering properties, utilize the characteristic of target scattering, scattering mechanism that can better objective of interpretation to polarization sensitive.Aspect military surveillance, the Classification and Identification aspect of agricultural, forestry etc. is widely used.
The implementation of traditional polarization (or multipolarization) synthetic-aperture radar is to receive by increase poliarizing antenna and hyperchannel to finish.
Because " airborne interference SAR system " is a binary channels receiving radar, therefore, we want to utilize and have developed " airborne interference SAR system " finished and realize being polarized to picture.If possible, then, can either possess the interference imaging function, possess the polarization imaging function again, very application prospects will be arranged at same polarization sensitive synthetic aperture radar system.
Embodiment
Make that synthetic-aperture radar realizes interfering and the complete polarization imaging simultaneously, we have proposed following method:
The first, prepare the parts of following necessity.
To in same polarization sensitive synthetic aperture radar system, realize interfering and being polarized to picture, must possess following condition:
1. two receivers
2. transmitter
3. a pair of horizontally-polarized antenna
4. a pair of vertical polarized antenna
5. two annular devices
6. HF switch.
The second, above-mentioned parts will connect by shown in the figure.Referring to Fig. 2.
A kind of realize the interference simultaneously and the synthetic-aperture radar of complete polarization imaging, comprising: two receivers (1), (2), transmitter, two annular devices (1), (2), a HF switch, two antennas (1), (2), annexation is that transmitter connects HF switch, by HF switch and annular device (1), (2) be connected to antenna (1), (2), antenna (1), (2) with annular device (1), (2) join, by annular device (1), (2) be connected to receiver (1), (2).
The 3rd, follow these steps to operation.Referring to Fig. 1.
One, can realize interference imaging with step in the following manner
1) antenna 1 and antenna 2 are connected into like-polarized antenna; For example, a pair of horizontally-polarized antenna or a pair of vertical polarized antenna.
2) transmitter is connected antenna 1 or antenna 2 by HF switch, launches electromagnetic wave;
3) by antenna 1 and antenna 2, respectively the electromagnetic wave echo is sent to receiver 1 and receiver 2, like this,, has just realized interference imaging by follow-up signal Processing.
Two, can realize being polarized to picture in the following manner
1) antenna 1 and antenna 2 are connected into the antenna of different polarization; For example, antenna 1 is connected into a horizontally-polarized antenna, antenna 2 is connected into a vertical polarized antenna.
2) transmitter is switched to 1 by HF switch, by annular device electromagnetic wave is launched from antenna 1 then, i.e. the emission level polarized electromagnetic wave;
3) by antenna 1 and antenna 2, respectively the electromagnetic wave echo is sent to receiver 1 and receiver 2, like this, receiver 1 and receiver 2 have received horizontal polarization and vertical polarization signal respectively, therefore, two width of cloth horizontal polarization horizontal polarizations (HH) and horizontal polarization vertical polarization (HV) image have just been obtained;
4) next, transmitter is switched to 2 by HF switch, by annular device electromagnetic wave is launched from antenna 2 then, promptly launches the vertical polarization electromagnetic wave;
5) by antenna 1 and antenna 2, respectively the electromagnetic wave echo is sent to receiver 1 and receiver 2, like this, receiver 1 and receiver 2 have received horizontal polarization and vertical polarization signal respectively, therefore, two width of cloth vertical polarization horizontal polarizations (VH) and vertical polarization (VV) image have just been obtained;
6) step of repetition 2 to 5.So far, just obtained HH, HV, VV, four width of cloth polarization radar shadowgraphs such as VH.
Fig. 3 is scheme, antenna 1 and antenna 2 same polarizations that realize interference imaging.
Fig. 4 is the scheme that realizes being polarized to picture, antenna 1 level, antenna 2 vertical polarizations.
