Abstract

The invention discloses an airborne double-waveband synthetic aperture radar system and a method for measuring vegetation thickness utilizing same. The airborne double-waveband synthetic aperture radar system includes: an airborne platform, an antenna system, a stabilization platform, and a distributed POS. The antenna system includes an L-band main receiving and transmitting antenna, two L-band vice receiving and transmitting antennas, and a Ka-band receiving and transmitting antenna group. The method for measuring vegetation thickness includes: taking the L-band main receiving and transmitting antenna and the L-band vice receiving and transmitting antennas as flexible long base lines, measuring corresponding phase center positions of the three antennas by the distributed POS, obtaining time-varying information of the phase centers of the antennas during imaging period, and meanwhile carrying out wave beam stabilization and direction control for the Ka-band receiving and transmitting antenna by utilizing the stabilization platform; combining POS data with signals received by each antenna to carry out imaging processing respectively; carrying out interference processing for the imaging results of the L-band and the Ka-band, and obtaining an object scene DTM and an object scene DSM; and obtaining vegetation thickness information by subtracting one of the DTM and the DSM by the other. With the airborne double-waveband synthetic aperture radar system and the method for measuring vegetation thickness utilizing same, application range of an airborne radar in the microwave sensing field is expanded.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar, InSAR) and microwave remote sensing technology, and specifically relates to an airborne dual-band synthetic aperture radar system and a method for measuring the thickness of vegetation by using the same, especially using an airborne synthetic aperture radar The system uses interferometric technology in the L and Ka dual bands to obtain the terrain information and surface vegetation information of the target scene. Background technique [0002] Airborne Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has been relatively mature in the development of 3D imaging technology for target scenes, and the main working modes include single-antenna double-pass and dual-antenna single-pass. Compared with the double-pass method, the single-pass method can effectively overcome the problems of time decoherence and non-parallel flight paths, so it ...
