Description
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of radar scatterometer, particularly a kind of satellite scanning radar transmitting-receiving two-beam antenna.
Background technology
Spaceborne radar is a kind of important earth observation instrument, the scanning by the radar antenna wave beam realize to observation swath scope internal object measure with imaging be a kind of method of measurement commonly used.In the prior art, the distance between radar antenna and target of being observed or the zone caused between time of target echo signal time of advent that radar is received and radar emission signal certain delay.Through this delay, the beam direction of the radar antenna that scans or irradiation area can be offset, promptly the x time radar beam on ground or the irradiation footmark on sea and the time of reception radar beam the irradiation footmark can depart from.As shown in Figure 1, direction S represents beam scanning direction, the numeral 10 expression aerial ground footmarks time of reception, numeral 11 expression x time aerial ground footmarks, numeral 12 expression transmitting-receiving wave beams overlap footmark, the aerial ground footmark in two moment can not cover fully, causes the transmitting-receiving double-pass gain of antenna to descend.
For point target, as long as in transmitting-receiving time of delay, target does not shift out the range of exposures of antenna beam, and then the target-echo intensity that receives of radar can not change, and the scanning loss of antenna beam does not exert an influence to the measurement of radar; When measured target is the appearance mark of continuous distribution, situation about measuring to the radar scattering coefficient after to ground or sea as the spaceborne radar scatterometer, the echo-signal that radar receives directly is decided by the area of radar antenna wave beam irradiation footmark, the beam scanning skew causes that the wave beam that transmits and receives shines the footmark skew and can cause reducing of the transmitting-receiving effective irradiated area of round trip, thereby reduce the size of radar echo power, reduce the precision of systematic survey.When beam scanning causes that the amplitude that reduces of transmitting-receiving double-pass gain is little, can remedy by increasing transmitting power, to guarantee the certainty of measurement of system; When the amplitude that the transmitting-receiving double-pass gain that causes when beam scanning reduces is big, then need the transmitting power that increases very big,, may become serious technical problem for the spaceborne radar that strict Power Limitation is arranged.Particularly narrower for antenna beam, sweep speed is radar faster, may receive and dispatch the situation that wave beam can not overlap covering fully, and then radar can not receive the echo-signal from ground or sea, the serious consequence that causes radar system to work.For the pencil beam high-resolution real aperture radar that scans fast,, be the problem that must solve if take measures to reduce or eliminate the transmitting-receiving wave beam skew that scanning causes.
Real aperture radar with the pencil beam conical scanning is an example below, the transmitting-receiving wave beam that scanning is caused along the orientation skew loss to (scanning direction) carry out quantitative analysis.In order to simplify the discussion of problem, the situation of one dimension directional diagram (azimuth direction) only is discussed.Be without loss of generality, the power radiation pattern of supposing the one way azimuth direction of antenna herein is the Gaussian function, promptly
In the formula: Δ θ
-3dB<<2 π are half-power beam widths of antenna.When dual-mode antenna wave beam footmark covered fully, the transmitting-receiving round trip power radiation pattern of antenna was
If the angular speed of antenna beam scanning is ω, observed range is R (distance from antenna to the irradiation footmark), and then the scanning shift of antenna receiving-sending wave beam is
In the formula: c is an electromagnetic wave propagation speed, and τ=2R/c is a receive-after-transmit time delay.Corresponding round trip power radiation pattern is
The equivalence irradiated area is the product TG-AUC.
So the loss of the antenna double-pass gain that scanning causes is
Promptly
Obviously, when scanning shift much larger than antenna beamwidth, promptly Δ θ>>Δ θ
-3dBThe time, scanning shift will cause reducing greatly of transmitting-receiving round trip antenna power gain.
According to formula (6), the key element of decision scanning loss comprises:
The beamwidth Δ θ of antenna
-3dB: beamwidth is wide more, and scanning loss is more little;
The angular scanning speed ω of antenna: angular scanning speed is fast more, and scanning loss is big more;
The measuring distance R of radar: distance is big more, and scanning shift is big more, and scanning loss is big more.
For the spaceborne radar from earth observation from space, resolution is high more, and beamwidth is narrow more, and it is also fast more to finish the desired sweep speed of covering, and the loss that scanning shift causes is big more; Track is high more, and then narrow more for the beamwidth of same ground resolution requirement, scanning loss is big more.
Usually the mode that adopts narrow beams transmission, broad beam to receive in the land-based radar scatterometer covers launching beam reducing scanning or the receive and dispatch loss that angle deviating causes by received beam, but this mode is to be cost with the gain of sacrificing reception antenna.In spaceborne real aperture radar,, reduce scanning shift and corresponding transmitting-receiving skew loss then mainly by reducing orbit altitude, sacrifice angular resolution or reducing the covering requirement as far as possible.The Seawinds radar of the QuickScat scatterometer satellite of the U.S. is the resolution that realizes 50km on the orbit altitude of 800km, and corresponding antenna beamwidth is 1.7 ~ 1.8 degree, sweep speed be 18rpm (rev/min), scanning loss<6dB.When satellite orbit raises, keep same ground resolution or obtain higher ground resolution, must dwindle antenna beamwidth; In order to realize covering requirement, then require the angular speed of scanning to improve, thereby cause the increase of scanning loss.If orbit altitude is brought up to 960km from 800km, keep the resolution of 50km, beamwidth will be reduced to 1.2 ~ 1.3 degree, and sweep speed will increase to about 20rpm, if adopt the system of transmitting-receiving with wave beam, then scanning loss will be increased to 10 ~ 12dB.
Based on above-mentioned analysis, for high-resolution satellite scanning radar, at the deficiencies in the prior art, people wish to take measures to reduce scanning loss.
