Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of microwave radar signal processing, and in particular relates to a scheme for inverting ocean waves using microwave radar. Background Art
[0002] In ocean monitoring, wave parameters, such as significant wave height and mean wave period, are crucial for marine engineering, hazard prediction, and oceanographic research. Thanks to its high temporal and spatial resolution, coherent microwave radar has garnered significant attention for detecting and retrieving ocean waves. The transmitted signals of coherent microwave radars have a defined phase angle, enabling them to obtain Doppler information of the ocean surface and, consequently, Doppler radial velocity. Using the conversion relationship between radial velocity and wave height spectra, wave parameters such as significant wave height and mean wave period can be derived.
[0003] At the same time, higher spatial and temporal resolution also enables coherent microwave radar to detect detailed information on the ocean surface, such as wave breaking. Breaking waves exhibit some nonlinear characteristics in the wavenumber frequency spectrum observed by radar, such as "group lines," which cause low-frequency components to appear in the radar-observed ocean wave spectrum, leading to inaccurate estimates of ocean wave parameters. To eliminate the impact of wave breaking, many researchers use high-pass filters to remove noise and nonlinear features before inverting ocean wave parameters. Some researchers have designed various filters based on linear wave theory and the analysis of the influence of various frequency components in the wavenumber frequency spectrum. Some researchers have also decomposed and reconstructed the space-time velocity series observed by radar. In this process, feature analysis methods are used to remove non-wave components and the reconstructed velocity is used to perform wave inversion.
[0004] In the prior art, the closest patent documents are as follows:
[0005] A method and device for suppressing breaking wave interference in an S-band Doppler radar (CN105487056A) uses empirical mode decomposition to decompose radar echo signals affected by breaking waves into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Based on the characteristic that breaking wave signals have a higher frequency than general ocean echo signals, the higher-frequency components of all IMFs are removed, and the remaining IMFs are reconstructed to obtain a signal processed by breaking waves.
[0006] A method for inverting ocean wave parameters using X-band navigation radar based on a novel wave dispersion relation bandpass filter (CN103969643B) includes five parts: radar image acquisition, radar image preprocessing, sea clutter image spectrum acquisition, wave information extraction, and sea surface information inversion. The sea clutter image spectrum is obtained through Fourier transform, and a novel bandpass filter is used to extract wave energy from the sea clutter image spectrum.
[0007] The above methods all focus on processing in the space-time domain and require a large amount of space-time data. However, when spatial or temporal observations are missing (e.g., due to occlusion or large changes in seabed topography), these methods will fail. Summary of the Invention
[0008] In order to address the shortcomings of the above-mentioned space-time domain processing methods, the present invention starts from the mechanism of "group line" generation and analyzes the impact of wave breaking on the Doppler spectrum. A wave inversion method that uses the time Doppler spectrum to eliminate the impact of breaking is proposed. This method only uses time domain data.

[0013] Step 4: Determine the broadening of a single Doppler spectrum. If it broadens to the right, redefine the right bandwidth boundary frequency based on the left bandwidth boundary frequency and the corrected average bandwidth frequency. If it broadens to the left, redefine the left bandwidth boundary frequency based on the right bandwidth boundary frequency and the corrected average bandwidth frequency. The redetermined bandwidth boundary frequency does not include the broadening portion caused by wave breaking.
[0014] Step 5: Within the re-determined bandwidth boundary frequency, the frequency shift of a single Doppler spectrum is obtained using the spectral moment method, and then the velocity at the fixed range element and fixed time point at the radar illumination azimuth is obtained. For the time Doppler spectrum of the fixed range element, a velocity time series is obtained, and the influence of other velocity components is eliminated, and detrending processing is performed;

[0064] Step 1: At each radar illumination azimuth, at a fixed range element and at a fixed time point, obtain a single echo Doppler spectrum (referred to as a single Doppler spectrum). Calculate a threshold for the single Doppler spectrum and estimate the left and right bandwidth boundary frequencies of the ocean echo signal in the single Doppler spectrum by comparing the thresholds. This results in the bandwidth frequency of the single Doppler spectrum.

[0071] Among them A noise Represents the average amplitude of the noise floor in a single Doppler spectrum, and max() represents the maximum value;
[0072] The left bandwidth boundary frequency of the ocean echo signal in the single Doppler spectrum described in step 1 is defined as The determination method is as follows: first determine the maximum amplitude of a single Doppler spectrum, start from the maximum amplitude and traverse to the left, if the amplitude of a continuous segment is less than or equal to (κ+A noise ), the Doppler frequency corresponding to the leftmost amplitude of the segment is determined as the left bandwidth boundary frequency of the single Doppler spectrum;

[0085] Step 4: Determine the broadening of a single Doppler spectrum. If it broadens to the right, redefine the right bandwidth boundary frequency based on the left bandwidth boundary frequency and the corrected average bandwidth frequency. If it broadens to the left, redefine the left bandwidth boundary frequency based on the right bandwidth boundary frequency and the corrected average bandwidth frequency. The redetermined bandwidth boundary frequency does not include the broadening part caused by wave breaking, so it can be considered that the influence of breaking has been eliminated.

[0090] Step 5: Within the redefined bandwidth boundary frequency, the frequency shift of a single Doppler spectrum is obtained using the spectral moment method. This allows the velocity at the radar illumination azimuth at a fixed range element and time point to be obtained. For the time Doppler spectrum of a fixed range element, a velocity time series can be obtained. To eliminate the influence of other velocity components in the velocity time series, such as the seawater velocity, detrending terms are performed on the velocity time series.

[0101] The wave spectrum of a fixed distance element on the radar illumination azimuth described in step 6 is defined as Among them, f wave It represents the wave frequency and is related to the time series t. According to the linear wave theory of coherent microwave radar, the conversion relationship between the velocity time series of a fixed distance element on the radar illumination azimuth and the wave spectrum of the fixed distance element is:

[0106] Step 7: The wave spectra at each radar illumination angle are fused to obtain a complete undirected wave spectrum. Wave parameters such as significant wave height and average wave period can be obtained through the undirected wave spectrum to obtain the wave inversion result.

[0115] The advantage of the above method flow is that the influence of wave breaking can be effectively removed by using only time domain data for correlation processing, thereby improving the accuracy of microwave radar wave inversion. Compared with the space-time domain processing method, the method proposed in the present invention requires a small amount of data and is easier to obtain. In addition, the method is simple to operate, highly flexible, and can adapt to complex and changeable marine environments, and has great research and application value.
[0116] As an example, there are N = 6 radar illumination azimuths, the 70th range element is selected, the range resolution is 7.5m, then r0 = 70 × 7.5m = 525m, the time series t has 256 points, the time resolution is 0.526s, the constraint factor β is set to 0.8, and the attached Figure 2 This is the time Doppler spectrum when the sea conditions are more severe. It is the time when wave breaking occurs frequently, causing the Doppler spectrum to broaden to the right. The white dotted lines represent the left and right bandwidth boundary frequencies of the ocean echo determined according to step 1, and the white solid lines represent the corrected left and right bandwidth boundary frequencies determined according to step 4. The re-determined bandwidth boundary frequencies do not include the broadening caused by wave breaking, and it can be considered that the impact of breaking has been eliminated. The unprocessed frequency shift can be obtained by the spectral moment method within the left and right bandwidth boundary frequencies of the ocean echo determined according to step 1. The frequency shift after time domain processing can be obtained by the spectral moment method within the left and right bandwidth boundary frequencies of the ocean echo determined according to step 4. The wavelength of the electromagnetic wave emitted by the S-band radar is λ0≈0.11m. The velocity time series before processing and after time domain processing can be obtained through the Doppler effect. The comparison after detrending is shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown. Water depth d = 18m, antenna height H = 40m, so the antenna incident angle θ = cos -1 (H / r0), the wave spectrum of a fixed distance element on a certain radar azimuth is shown in the following figure Figure 4 As shown, it can be found that after processing using the time domain method proposed in the present invention, the low-frequency component of the wave spectrum is significantly reduced, and the inverted average wave period is also relatively consistent with the observation value of the buoy.
[0117] The ocean wave parameter inversion method based on the time Doppler spectrum of the S-band wave measuring radar described in the present invention starts from the influence of wave breaking on the Doppler spectrum and uses the time domain data of radar observation for correlation processing. The measured data results show that the method proposed by the present invention can effectively eliminate the influence of wave breaking using only time domain data, thereby improving the inversion accuracy of microwave radar ocean wave parameters and overcoming the problem of inconsistency of space-time domain data and thus failure of space-time domain processing methods due to factors such as obstruction and large changes in seabed topography. The method uses a small amount of data, is simple to operate, has high flexibility, and has broad application prospects.
