Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of microwave radiometer calibration and testing technology, and in particular to a ground calibration system and method for the emissivity of a geostationary microwave radiometer antenna. Background Technology
[0002] The geostationary microwave radiometer combines the high timeliness of geostationary remote sensing with the unique penetrating power of microwaves to detect clouds and rain, significantly enhancing the monitoring and early warning capabilities for rapidly changing weather systems such as typhoons and rainstorms. Microwave radiometric calibration is fundamental to the quantitative application of microwave remote sensing data. The accuracy of the radiometer's calibration is crucial for obtaining accurate and effective atmospheric brightness and temperature remote sensing data during its on-orbit operation.
[0003] To meet the detection requirements of the geostationary microwave radiometer, the radiometer antenna consists of a 5m diameter primary reflector and a 1m diameter secondary reflector. Traditional end-to-end calibration schemes require a calibration source with a radiator diameter greater than 5m, which is very difficult to develop and currently not feasible in engineering. Therefore, the geostationary microwave radiometer adopts a feed-based aperture calibration scheme, where the antenna reflector is not included in the calibration path. Since the detector antenna operates in an environment ranging from -160℃ to +120℃ in orbit, and the emissivity of the antenna changes by more than two orders of magnitude with temperature under different operating temperatures, the geostationary microwave radiometer employs a feed-based aperture rotation calibration and a space-to-ground integrated real-time measurement and correction scheme to meet the quantitative application requirements of the radiometer. The feed-based aperture rotation calibration is achieved by a scanning drive mechanism driving a set of rotating scanning mirrors in rapid circular motion. The influence of antenna surface self-radiation is corrected in real time using ground-based measurements of antenna surface emissivity and on-orbit temperature values. Therefore, during ground development, it is necessary to accurately obtain the emissivity of the reflector and the relationship between emissivity and the operating environment temperature to provide fundamental parameters for on-orbit calibration.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a ground calibration method for the emissivity of a geostationary microwave radiometer antenna. Summary of the Invention

Simultaneously, it obtains the emissivity variation curve with the physical temperature of the reflector in a vacuum environment. This invention solves the problem that point-by-point emissivity testing equipment for the entire reflector surface cannot operate in a vacuum temperature-varying environment. By using an engineering-feasible 1m vacuum temperature-varying source, it performs vacuum testing of the reflector emissivity. This not only verifies the accuracy of the emissivity test value of the resonant cavity device under normal temperature and pressure conditions but also accurately obtains the emissivity variation curve with physical temperature, solving the problem of vacuum testing of the emissivity of a 5m diameter reflector.
