Method for estimating and compensating for bistatic scattering effects of polarimetrically calibrated dihedral reflectors

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for estimating and compensating the bistatic scattering influence on a polarimetric calibration dihedral reflector. The method comprises the following steps: through analysis on the scattering mechanism of the dihedral reflector, estimating the influence of a bistatic scattering condition on the scattering field of the dihedral reflector; according to an estimation formula, compensating the bistatic scattering influence on a measurement result of the dihedral reflector so as to improve the subsequent polarimetric calibration precision. The method is extremely high in practicality; by the method, the bistatic scattering influence on the dihedral reflector rotating around a radar sightline for different angles can be estimated; by the method, the influence of the bistatic scattering on scattering characteristic measurement of the dihedral reflector is successfully estimated and compensated, so that the polarimetric calibration precision is improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication and radar, and in particular to a method for estimating and compensating the effect of dual-station scattering of a polarization calibration dihedral corner reflector. Background technique [0002] In the radar target polarization scattering matrix measurement, polarization calibration technology is needed to eliminate the measurement error caused by the imperfect measurement system. In the polarization calibration technology, the metal dihedral corner reflector is a commonly used passive calibration body. Usually the echoes at two different angles rotating around the radar line of sight are measured as calibration signals, and in conjunction with the measurement signals of other calibration bodies (such as metal balls, metal plates, etc.), the relevant polarization calibration parameters can be extracted to complete the polarization. Calibration [see Reference 1]. The schematic diagram...
