Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ground-based calculation, analysis, and demonstration of formation satellite indicators, specifically to a method and system for calculating and analyzing the spatial synchronization rate of formation SAR satellites. Background Technology
[0002] Satellites in orbit are affected by the Earth's rotation and elliptical orbits, leading to issues such as image position shifts and distortions during imaging. This is particularly true for SAR satellites, where the Doppler center shifts due to the Earth's curvature and rotation; typical shift values exceed the system pulse repetition frequency, impacting image quality. Therefore, SAR satellites typically operate according to a designed two-dimensional attitude guidance system to improve imaging quality and simplify post-processing.
[0003] Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) systems utilize echo data from multiple receiving antennas of arrayed SAR satellites for interferometric processing. This allows for estimation of ground elevation, measurement of ocean current height and velocity, and detection and location of moving ground targets. In the one-transmit-many-receive mode of this system, any satellite in the array transmits a signal, and two satellites simultaneously receive the signal, resulting in near-zero temporal interference. However, spatial synchronization must be addressed, requiring formation configuration design and, if necessary, attitude adjustments to auxiliary satellites to ensure maximum overlap between the observation areas of the two satellites. Zero temporal interference indicates that the InSAR system's one-transmit-two-receive system is synchronous, eliminating the possibility of image decoherence due to long time intervals. The ground performance evaluation phase requires analysis and calculation of the spatial synchronization rate of the arrayed satellites to verify the effectiveness of the implemented measures and assess whether they meet the requirements.
[0004] Patent document CN112327262A discloses an on-orbit calibration method and system for SAR beam pointing consistency of distributed InSAR satellites. It is applicable to the calibration and maintenance of SAR beam pointing consistency in distributed InSAR satellites under dual-satellite (one transmitter, two receivers) or multi-satellite (one transmitter, multiple receivers) systems. It solves problems such as inconsistent SAR beam pointing between two satellites during on-orbit operation, inconsistent SAR temperature environments caused by inconsistent transmit and receive states during imaging, leading to beam pointing offset, reduced receiving energy of the auxiliary satellite, decreased coherence between the two satellites, and reduced mapping accuracy. However, patent document CN112327262A does not involve a method for evaluating and calculating the synchronization rate.
[0005] Patent document CN102967851A discloses a spatial synchronization method for bistatic SAR, which introduces a method for generating airborne bistatic SAR antenna pointing control parameters through coordinate transformation based on GPS spatial coordinate information and attitude information of the carrier platform. However, patent document CN102967851A only involves a method to achieve synchronization by adjusting the antenna beam pointing, which is ineffective for antennas without beam scanning capabilities and is not applicable to large phased array antennas that cannot be directly driven in orbit.
