[0041] In the process of implementing the present invention, it was found that the gain level of the antenna determines the quality of the satellite-borne GNSS-R earth observation. In different earth observation tasks, different requirements are put forward for the collection of reflected signals, among which the gain of the antenna is an important factor of the reflected signal. Higher gain has good directivity and energy concentration, while lower gain can provide a wider observation range. At present, the antennas used by satellites performing satellite-borne GNSS-R missions are all fixed-gain antennas. In order to improve the observation capability of GNSS-R at different locations on the surface of the earth and better meet the needs of satellite-borne GNSS-R earth observation missions, this paper proposes a method for changing the antenna gain.

In particular, necessary measures are taken for user personal information to prevent illegal access to user personal information data and maintain user personal information security and network security. The control method is applied to bistatic radar.
[0048] Figure 1 A flow chart of a satellite-borne GNSS-R adaptive antenna gain control method provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The control method is applied to a bistatic radar, wherein the bistatic radar includes a GNSS-R satellite and a GNSS satellite.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method includes: operation S1 to operation S4.
[0050] In operation S1, in response to the antenna of the GNSS-R satellite being set as a variable gain antenna, a reflected signal transmitted by the antenna of the GNSS-R satellite is obtained, where the reflected signal is obtained by reflecting the signal from the GNSS satellite by a mirror reflection point, and the mirror reflection point is located on the surface of the earth; the gain of the antenna includes a first gain and a second gain, and the first gain is greater than the second gain.
[0051] In operation S2, at least one delay-Doppler map of the specular reflection point is obtained according to the reflection signal.
[0052] In operation S3, a signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal is determined according to at least one delay-Doppler map.
[0053] In operation S4, an adjustment signal is issued according to the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal and the target signal-to-noise ratio, and the adjustment signal is used to adjust the gain of the antenna, wherein the gain of the antenna after adjustment is a minimum gain that meets a preset condition, and the preset condition is that the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal is greater than the target signal-to-noise ratio, and the target signal-to-noise ratio is the minimum signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal when determining the target parameters of the location of the mirror reflection point, and the target parameters are surface parameters with target accuracy.
[0054] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment of the present invention proposes to set the GNSS-R satellite as a variable gain antenna, and adjust the gain of the antenna using the comparison result of the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal and the target signal-to-noise ratio. However, the gain of the antenna is related to the detection area. When the gain of the antenna is large, the detection area is small, and when the gain of the antenna is small, the detection area is large. By setting the target signal-to-noise ratio, the gain of the antenna is adjusted to the minimum gain when the preset conditions are met, which can take into account the signal-to-noise ratio and the detection area of the signal, thereby improving the observation capability of the GNSS-R satellite at different locations.
[0055] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the antenna can be adjusted in the following two ways: when the antenna is in the second gain and the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal is less than the target signal-to-noise ratio, the adjustment signal is used to adjust the gain of the antenna to the first gain. When the antenna is in the first gain and the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal is greater than the target signal-to-noise ratio, the adjustment signal is used to adjust the gain of the antenna to the second gain. According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the antenna is in the first gain and the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal is greater than the target signal-to-noise ratio, it indicates that the detection area is small, and the gain of the antenna can be reduced to achieve detection in a larger range. Both of the above adjustment methods require that the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal after adjustment is greater than the target signal-to-noise ratio.
[0056] When the antenna is at the first gain and the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal is less than the target signal-to-noise ratio, no adjustment can meet the preset conditions. At this time, no adjustment is made and the current reflected signal can be used to detect the surface parameters, but a quality control label can be added to this reflected signal. When the antenna is at the second gain and the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal is greater than the target signal-to-noise ratio, this is the most ideal situation. No adjustment is required and the reflection can be used directly to detect the surface parameters.
[0057] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the ground surface parameters may be, for example, soil moisture, vegetation coverage, wind speed, and the like.
[0058] According to an embodiment of the present invention, by inverting the surface parameters at the locations of multiple mirror reflection points, the surface conditions of the area including multiple mirror reflection points can be obtained, including soil moisture, sea surface wind speed, inland water and flood range.

[0061] In operation S42, the ground surface state at the location of the mirror reflection point is determined according to the location of the mirror reflection point;
[0062] In operation S43, a target signal-to-noise ratio is determined according to the ground state at the location of the specular reflection point and at least one delay-Doppler map.
[0063] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the surface state is a type of earth surface preset according to the needs of scientific mission detection, including land, ocean, etc. The target signal-to-noise ratio is determined in different ways under different surface states.
[0064] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the surface state at the location of the mirror reflection point is ocean, the surface parameter is wind speed.
[0065] In operation S43, determining the target signal-to-noise ratio according to the surface state of the location of the mirror reflection point and at least one delay-Doppler map includes operations S431 to S433.
[0066] In operation S431, the expected wind speed inversion standard deviation is obtained according to the surface state at the location of the mirror reflection point.
[0067] In operation S432, a normalized bistatic radar cross section relative standard deviation is determined according to the expected wind speed inversion standard deviation and at least one delay-Doppler map;.
[0068] In operation S433, a target signal-to-noise ratio is determined according to a relative standard deviation of the normalized bistatic radar cross section.
[0069] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the relative standard deviation of the normalized bistatic radar cross section satisfies the following relationship:

Indicates the wind speed at a height of 10 meters above the sea. represents the normalized bistatic radar cross section, is the parameter of the double-click radar, which is also a known quantity. It indicates the number of delay-Doppler images obtained within 1 second that are incoherently accumulated. Represents the relative standard deviation of the normalized bistatic radar cross section.
[0072] According to formula (1), the relative standard deviation of the normalized bistatic radar cross section can be determined as .
[0073] According to an embodiment of the present invention, determining a target signal-to-noise ratio according to a relative standard deviation of a normalized bistatic radar cross section includes the following steps.
[0074] Firstly, the normalized signal-to-noise ratio is determined according to the relative standard deviation of the normalized bistatic radar cross section.
[0075] Secondly, the target signal-to-noise ratio is determined according to the normalized signal-to-noise ratio.
[0076] According to an embodiment of the present invention, determining the target signal-to-noise ratio according to the normalized signal-to-noise ratio includes: obtaining the target signal-to-noise ratio according to the normalized signal-to-noise ratio and the gain of the antenna when receiving the reflected signal.
[0077] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the normalized signal-to-noise ratio, the gain of the antenna when receiving the reflected signal, and the target signal-to-noise ratio satisfy the following relationship:
[0078] (2).
[0079] Among them, SNR db is the target signal-to-noise ratio, G R represents the antenna gain of the GNSS-R satellite when receiving the reflected signal, R T represents the distance between the GNSS satellite and the specular reflection point, R R represents the distance between the specular reflection point and the receiver of the GNSS-R satellite, and NSNR represents the normalized signal-to-noise ratio.
[0080] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the gain of the antenna changes, the target signal-to-noise ratio will also change accordingly.
[0081] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the target signal-to-noise ratio is the minimum value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal used to invert the surface parameters with target accuracy. When the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal is lower than the target signal-to-noise ratio, the reflected signal cannot be accurately inverted to obtain the surface parameters.
[0082] According to the embodiment of the present invention, when determining the target signal-to-noise ratio, formula (2) eliminates the influence of the antenna gain on the target signal-to-noise ratio. At the same time, formula (2) also shows that when the signal-to-noise ratio of the monitored reflected signal is lower than the target signal-to-noise ratio, the antenna gain is increased, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal is enhanced.
[0083] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the normalized signal-to-noise ratio and the normalized relative standard deviation of the bistatic radar cross section satisfy the following relationship:
[0084] (3).
[0085] Where R is a parameter that characterizes the incoherent average effectiveness of the reflected signal. represents the number of delay-Doppler images, Represents the relative standard deviation of the normalized bistatic radar cross section.
[0086] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the Doppler image of the mirror reflection point includes a pixel matrix, and the pixel matrix includes M×N pixel points. Formula (3) can be further improved to Formula (4).

[0090] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the trajectory of the antenna is a straight line in continuous time, the area where the mirror reflection point is located is constantly changing, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal also changes dynamically. By monitoring the change in the signal-to-noise ratio at the location of the mirror reflection point, the required antenna gain level can be adaptively and dynamically selected. The change in the target signal-to-noise ratio shows the need for different antenna gain levels.
[0091] The signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal is continuously obtained and compared with the corresponding target signal-to-noise ratio. When it is detected that the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal is lower than the set target signal-to-noise ratio, an adjustment signal is sent out. The adjustment signal is used to adjust the gain of the amplifier in the antenna or change the antenna directivity parameters to achieve a change in the gain of the antenna.
[0092] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control method can be implemented by using a control device, which includes an acquisition module, a delay-Doppler map determination module, a signal-to-noise ratio determination module and an adjustment module.
[0093] In response to the antenna of the GNSS-R satellite being set as a variable gain antenna, the acquisition module is used to acquire the reflected signal transmitted by the antenna of the GNSS-R satellite, the reflected signal being obtained after the mirror reflection point reflects the signal from the GNSS satellite, and the mirror reflection point is located on the surface of the earth. The gain of the antenna includes a first gain and a second gain. The delay Doppler map determination module is suitable for obtaining at least one delay Doppler map of the mirror reflection point according to the reflected signal. The signal-to-noise ratio determination module is suitable for determining the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal according to at least one delay Doppler map. The adjustment module is suitable for sending an adjustment signal according to the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal and the target signal-to-noise ratio, and the adjustment signal is used to adjust the gain of the antenna. Among them, the gain of the antenna after adjustment is the minimum gain that meets the preset condition, the preset condition is that the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal is greater than the target signal-to-noise ratio, the target signal-to-noise ratio is the minimum signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected signal when the target parameter of the location of the mirror reflection point is used to determine, and the target parameter is a surface parameter with target accuracy.

The receiver of the GBSS-R satellite is connected to the two serial ports of the antenna. The two serial ports are used to apply voltage to different combinations, thereby realizing the control of the array antenna ( Figure 2 The sub-antennas to which voltage is applied are indicated by solid circles.
