Abstract

The invention relates to a high-precision baseline estimation method for a double-frequency interference imaging altimeter, and the method comprises the steps: taking a baseline length and a baselineinclination angle value measured in real time on a satellite as baseline estimation initial values, and carrying out the high-precision combined estimation of a baseline based on the height information of a reference target and the observation geometry of the interference imaging altimeter. Under the condition of considering that the double-frequency interference imaging altimeter works in the Kafrequency band and the Ku frequency band at the same time, the Ka frequency band and the Ku frequency band also have an observation overlapping region while wide coverage of a scene is realized, and the estimation precision of the on-orbit baseline is further improved by utilizing the fact that the sea surface height value of the overlapping region is fixed. According to the method, the advantagesthat the Ka frequency band is slightly influenced by the ionized layer and the Ku frequency band is slightly influenced by the troposphere (cloud and rain) are exerted, the baseline length estimationprecision is further improved to reach the sub-millimeter level, and the baseline inclination angle precision reaches the sub-arc second level.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-precision baseline estimation method for a dual-frequency interference imaging altimeter, which is suitable for satellite ocean remote sensing and other technical fields. Background technique [0002] Altimeters for measuring sea surface height mainly include pulsar subsatellite altimeter, synthetic aperture subsatellite altimeter, and interferometric imaging altimeter. The pulsar nadir altimeter and the synthetic aperture nadir altimeter are easy to achieve high-precision measurement, but they cannot meet the requirements of wide-range altimetry. The interferometric imaging altimeter extracts the elevation through the interferometric phase, which is easy to realize wide-range measurement and can also ensure high precision. figure 1 A schematic diagram of interferometric altimetry is given, by measuring the phase difference from the phase center of the dual antennas to the observation P After phase unwrapping, the pat...
