Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of active microwave remote sensing instruments, specifically to a device and test method for determining the scanning polarity of a spaceborne microwave radar antenna. Background Technology
[0002] Spaceborne microwave radar is an active microwave remote sensing instrument with advantages such as all-day, all-weather, high precision, and long-term stable continuous observation. It achieves large-scale satellite detection through phased array scanning and is currently widely used in weather forecasting, resource exploration, marine monitoring, and disaster monitoring.
[0003] The scanning polarity of the spaceborne microwave radar antenna is a prerequisite for the normal operation of the instrument and for acquiring data. It is also an important basis for the instrument to analyze and measure the object. Measuring the scanning polarity of the spaceborne microwave radar antenna to ensure that the design results are consistent with the actual results is an essential part of the satellite installation and testing work.
[0004] In the design requirements of spaceborne microwave radar, there are always clear requirements for the scanning polarity and data acquisition polarity of the instrument. Incorrect instrument scanning polarity or data polarity will affect the data inversion products, and in severe cases, it can lead to large deviations in weather forecasts and disaster monitoring, causing serious consequences. Polarity testing of the spaceborne microwave radar antenna is necessary to ensure that the polarity implementation method is consistent with the design method, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of the instrument data.
[0005] A search of existing technologies revealed that patent document CN101464511A (application number 200910077121.5) discloses a method for determining the operating beam position of a spaceborne synthetic aperture radar. This method calculates the leading and trailing edge echo times of the transmitted signal and the nadir interference band using input parameters. Based on the results, it further calculates the slant range between the radar and the interference area, and the viewing angle of the interference area relative to the radar. Based on this, it determines the pulse repetition frequency set, and then determines the beam pointing of the radar antenna and verifies the determination result. However, this existing technology cannot directly determine the antenna scanning polarity. It relies on precise calculations to determine the radar antenna beam pointing, and then compares the time sequence of two adjacent beam pointing to indirectly determine the antenna scanning polarity. This method is complex and unsuitable for ground-based determination.
[0006] Patent document CN102738598A (application number 201210225846.6) discloses a millimeter-wave phased array antenna and its beam scanning method. The beam scanning method includes disassembling the planar microstrip antenna array and active channel network; using a vector network analyzer to obtain a data table showing the relationship between the amplitude and phase of each active channel network and the control voltage; calculating the required amplitude and phase of each active channel network based on the required beam scanning angle; and selecting the control voltage with the smallest error value from the obtained data table using an error algorithm for beam scanning. This prior art proposes a phased array beam scanning method based on vector modulation technology, aiming to reduce beam scanning errors by eliminating differences in channel amplitude and phase settings caused by chip variations and assembly. However, this method cannot directly determine the beam scanning polarity and cannot quickly determine the scanning polarity using a ground-based horn antenna.
[0007] Patent document CN113176567A (application number 202110309251.8) discloses a control method, apparatus, and system for SAR azimuth beam scanning. The control method includes the following steps: obtaining the original number of dwell pulses in each azimuth direction during azimuth beam scanning; wherein the original number of dwell pulses is a non-integer and is used to characterize the number of pulses transmitted by the SAR antenna to the ground in each azimuth direction; in response to a range direction switch, accumulating the fractional part of the original dwell pulse count for the next azimuth direction using a carry accumulator to obtain an accumulation result; wherein the initial value of the carry accumulator is the fractional part of the original dwell pulse count for the current azimuth direction; the accumulation result is used to characterize whether the carry accumulator overflows; and determining the target dwell pulse count for the next azimuth direction based on the integer part of the original dwell pulse count and the accumulation result. Although this prior art can improve the pointing accuracy of antenna beam scanning, it does not involve a method for testing the polarity of antenna beam scanning.
[0008] Currently, no literature on satellite-borne microwave radar antenna scanning polarity determination devices and testing methods has been found. Therefore, it is urgent to develop and establish dedicated equipment for testing the scanning polarity of satellite-borne microwave radar antennas. Conducting antenna scanning polarity tests under the actual working conditions of the microwave radar installed on the satellite is crucial for realizing the normal scanning and data acquisition functions of satellite-borne microwave radar. Summary of the Invention

[0057] Step 4: Establish the test status of the spaceborne microwave radar 2 product. Connect the ground echo simulator 5 to the first horn antenna 3 and the second horn antenna 4. Build an absorbing wall 10 about 3m away from the antenna radiation surface of the spaceborne microwave radar 2.
[0058] Step 5: The spaceborne microwave radar 2 is powered on according to the power-on procedure of satellite 1. The echo simulator 5 controls the first horn antenna 3 to receive the signal transmitted by the spaceborne microwave radar 2, and the second horn antenna 4 is in standby mode. The scanning working mode of the spaceborne microwave radar 2 is turned on.
[0059] Step 6: The echo simulator 5 processes the signal received by the first horn antenna 3 from the spaceborne microwave radar 2 to generate a simulated echo signal, which is then forwarded to the spaceborne microwave radar 2 through the first horn antenna 3.
[0060] Step 7: Complete the acquisition of echo data relayed by the first horn antenna 3, and obtain the response curve of the first horn antenna 3 receiving the transmitted signal from the spaceborne microwave radar 2;
[0061] Step 8: Send the command to stop scanning mode of the spaceborne microwave radar 2. The echo simulator 5 controls the second horn antenna 4 to receive the signal transmitted by the spaceborne microwave radar 2. The first horn antenna 3 is in standby mode. The scanning mode of the spaceborne microwave radar 2 is turned on.
[0062] Step 9: The echo simulator 5 processes the signal transmitted by the spaceborne microwave radar 2 received by the second horn antenna 4 to generate a simulated echo signal, and then forwards it to the spaceborne microwave radar 2 through the second horn antenna 4.

[0064] Step 11: Based on the response curve, complete the polarity determination of the two antennas of the spaceborne microwave radar.
[0065] More specifically, in step three, the first horn antenna 3 and the second horn antenna 4 are positioned at the same height based on the instantaneous field of view and the magnitude of the radiated signal of the spaceborne microwave radar 2. The simulated echo signals in steps six and nine are set according to the operating frequency band of the spaceborne microwave radar 2 and the distance between the antennas of the spaceborne microwave radar 2 and the first and second horn antennas 3 and 4.
[0066] Example 3
[0067] This embodiment 3 is based on embodiments 1-2. The first horn antenna 3 is located 50-60cm to the right of the center of the antenna array of the spaceborne microwave radar 2, and the second horn antenna 4 is located 50-60cm to the left of the center of the antenna array of the spaceborne microwave radar 2, as detailed below:
[0068] The operating center frequency of the spaceborne microwave radar 2 is 13.35 GHz. A corresponding 13.35 GHz horn antenna is selected. The first horn antenna 3 is placed 1m from the radiating surface of the spaceborne microwave radar 2 antenna, approximately 50cm from the radar antenna in the -Y direction. The second horn antenna 4 is placed 1m from the radiating surface of the spaceborne microwave radar 2 antenna, approximately 50cm from the radar antenna in the +Y direction. The center height of the spaceborne microwave radar 2 antenna array is approximately 4m. The relative positions of the first movable support 8 and the second movable support 9 are adjusted to ensure that the centers of the first horn antenna 3 and the second horn antenna 4 are at a height of 4m and can receive the radiated signal from the spaceborne microwave radar 2 antenna. An absorbing wall 10 is constructed approximately 3m from the antenna radiating surface, i.e., absorbing walls are laid directly opposite the antenna radiating surface and on both sides. Figure 1 As shown.
[0069] After satellite 1 is powered on according to the procedure, the onboard microwave radar 2 starts up normally and enters scanning mode. The echo simulator 5 processes the signal transmitted by the onboard microwave radar 2 received by the first horn antenna 3 or the second horn antenna 4 to generate a simulated echo signal, which is then relayed to the onboard microwave radar 2 through the first horn antenna 3 or the second horn antenna 4. The onboard microwave radar 2 collects data from each point within the scanning area. The scanning area of the onboard microwave radar 2 ranges from -21° to 21° (corresponding to -Y to +Y in the satellite platform coordinate system), with a scanning step of 0.7°, a total of 59 scanning footprints, and 800 sampling power points for each scanning footprint. The data collection area is within ±21°.
[0070] After data acquisition is completed, data processing is performed. Based on the scanning method and data acquisition order of the spaceborne microwave radar 2, the response curves of the received echo power value and power sampling points of the spaceborne microwave radar 2 are obtained, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the responses of the first horn antenna 3 and the second horn antenna 4 to the transmitted signals of the spaceborne microwave radar 2 are reflected respectively, thereby determining whether the scanning polarity of the spaceborne microwave radar 2 antenna is consistent with the design.
