Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of radar remote sensing, in particular to an assembled radar satellite triangular reflector. Background technique
[0002] The artificial triangular reflector is usually composed of three mutually perpendicular surfaces, and it is a device that can return the radar incident signal to the radar signal transmitting source (or radar antenna) along the axis of the reflector.
[0003] To accommodate low-to-medium resolution radar satellites, such as ESA's Sentinel-1, the panels of the triangular reflectors need to be large enough, making the device huge. Theoretically, if the verticality of the three mutually perpendicular surfaces of the triangular reflector is greater than 1°, the radar reflection signal will be rapidly attenuated, and the curvature of the panel should also be less than 3-5mm. Usually, in order to ensure the verticality of the three mutually perpendicular surfaces and the curvature of the pane...
