Embodiment
The Two dimensional Distribution leggy screen generating method that the invention provides a kind of synchronous orbit synthetic-aperture radar, concrete steps are as follows:
Step 1, ionospheric scintillation phase power spectrum structure.
The reason that causes ionospheric scintillation is mainly that instability due to ionospheric plasma, ionosphere are with the dynamic processes such as coupling between thermosphere and magnetosphere, therefore, ionospheric electron density fluctuations is very complicated and irregular, thus the propagation problem of Technologies Against Synthetic Aperture Radar signal in ionosphere to carry out descriptive statistics be very convenient and necessary.Multiple-Phase-Screen theoretical foundation is autocorrelation function based on ionospheric scintillation and the structure of power spectrum, so first need according to ionosphere distribution situation structure electron density fluctuating power spectrum and ionospheric scintillation phase power spectrum.
With spectrum index p, characterize ionosphere irregular body, Shkarofsky has introduced related function and power spectrum in general sense:

ξionosphere irregular body electron density fluctuating standard deviation, because Multiple-Phase-Screen method is only applicable to fluctuating situation a little less than ionosphere, so its span is generally between 0~0.3.
The power spectrum that can obtain ionosphere Multiple-Phase-Screen random fluctuation phase place by the structure of ionospheric electron density fluctuating power spectrum, the relation between the two is as follows:

Step 2, produces the ionospheric single phase place screen random phase of differing heights and distributes:
Multiple-Phase-Screen method is that whole ionosphere is equivalent to shielding mutually at random of producing by series of values, is vacuum mutually between screen, and signal often shields mutually by one, just increases a random phase, and as shown in Figure 1, it can be represented by following formula:
u(x,y,z
n)=u(x,y,

Therefore, formula (2) can be further refined as:
Wherein, κ is that two-dimensional space wave number distributes, and it meets
relation.Height is in z=(z
n-1+ z
nthe amplitude of the simulation screen of)/2 and phase deviation can utilize Fourier transformation method to come numerical value to produce.Suppose that each lateral dimension of shielding is mutually L

n, and be divided into M * N equal portions, random magnitude and the phase fluctuation at point (x=i Δ x, y=j Δ y), located can be described as:
Wherein, i=0,1,2 ..., M-1, j=0,1,2 ..., N-1 Δ x=L

the Two Dimensional Uniform of obeying on 0~2 π distributes.But formula (7) calculation of complex, calculated amount is larger, in emulation, will certainly expend the more time, therefore formula (7) is modified result of calculation is obtained by Fourier transform and inverse Fourier transform operation as far as possible, so it is as follows to obtain producing the formula of random fluctuation phase place and amplitude:
Wherein, FFT
x, FFT
y, IFFT
x, IFFT
ywhat represent respectively is Fourier transform and the inverse Fourier transform of x direction and y direction.
Step 3, calculates the propagation of signal between phase place screen.
Signal is propagated and can be utilized split-step fourier transform to realize between screen, and it meets formula (12) and (13):
Wherein, Δ z is the interval between phase place screen.
Step 4, introduces GEO SAR echoed signal by random fluctuation phase place.
Ionospheric scintillation can be expressed as for the impact of GEO SAR echoed signal
Wherein
the phase fluctuation that ionospheric scintillation produces, A
iono(t) be the amplitude scintillation that ionospheric scintillation produces.As shown in Figure 2, A
iono(t) and
room and time in imaging scene distribute and can obtain by methods such as Multiple-Phase-Screens, its corresponding each grid is to having for the random fluctuation phase place of each PRT of GEO SAR in the time and the distribution of random fluctuation amplitude, ripple for each target in imaging scene is introduced a fluctuating phase place and relief intensity according to formula (14), in addition, each PRT is in the time, and distance is T to the variation range of time
p, i.e. signal pulse time width, and T
ptime is very short, can think that ionospheric scintillation temporal evolution is negligible in a PRT, thereby can be by
with
regard the spatial variations with scene areas as, be denoted as
with
It should be noted that ionospheric scintillation rises and falls in weak situation, signal fluctuation amplitude is less, impact on GEO SAR imaging is less, for GEO SAR system imaging, mainly focuses on the variation of signal phase to be embodied as picture simultaneously, therefore, actual emulation is only considered phase place
and ignore amplitude
Embodiment:
At this example, correlation parameter is as follows:
The inside dimension r of irregular body
0=15m, external dimensions L
0=2.5km, the spectrum index p=4 of ionosphere irregular body; The lateral dimension range L that shield mutually in ionosphere
m=500km, L
n=500km; Horizontal range number of samples is respectively M=1024 and N=1024; Electron density rises and falls as σ
ξ=0.05; Wherein the sampling interval of vertical height is Δ
z=5km, utilizes IRI2001 software, has generated the background ionosphere electron density (ionospheric scintillation activity is region comparatively obviously) of height 50km~500km.We obtain two-dimentional Multiple-Phase-Screen phase fluctuation simulation result as shown in Figure 4 by correlation parameter substitution (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) formula.
Fig. 3 has shown that traditional one dimension Multiple-Phase-Screen phase place bears results, what Fig. 4 showed is that two-dimentional Multiple-Phase-Screen phase place bears results, the two operation parameter is identical, from numerical range, the result difference of the two is little, but for GEO SAR emulation, there is significant advantage in the latter, for one-dimensional random fluctuating phase place, its echoed signal that certainly will require scene in GEO SAR imaging simulation is a plane completely, it can introduce echoed signal by random fluctuation phase place by (14) like this, but actual simulation process, scene echoes is from each scattering point in two-dimensional space, therefore there is serious deficiency in the introducing mode of one-dimensional random fluctuating phase place, ionospheric scintillation phase place by two-dimentional Multiple-Phase-Screen generates, can reflect preferably that ionospheric scintillation is for the impact of GEO SAR signal, and then can observe better ionospheric scintillation for the impact of GEO SAR imaging.
Certainly; the present invention also can have other various embodiments; in the situation that not deviating from spirit of the present invention and essence thereof; those of ordinary skill in the art are when making according to the present invention various corresponding changes and distortion, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection domain of the appended claim of the present invention.
