The invention discloses a QPS numerical
ray tracing and multi-target optimization-based high-frequency
sky-ground
wave radar ionosphere electron concentration inversion method, which comprises the following steps of: firstly, carrying out FFT (
Fast Fourier Transform) on
radar echo data, constructing a
radar echo distance-Doppler matrix, and according to the obtained
radar echo distance-Doppler matrix, calculating the
electron concentration of a high-frequency
sky-ground
wave radar ionosphere according to the obtained radar echo distance-Doppler matrix; determining an antenna
direct wave group distance and a transmitting
station-receiving
station ground distance; then determining an optimal emission
elevation angle by using randomly generated
ionosphere parameters; and finally, taking the emission
elevation angle data corresponding to the n groups of ionosphere parameters as an initial
population, and carrying out iterative optimization on the initial
population by utilizing a
population optimization
algorithm to obtain an optimal ionosphere parameter result, thereby realizing ionosphere
electron concentration inversion. According to the scheme, the radar echo data and the randomly generated ionosphere parameters are combined, the amount of data needing to be calculated is remarkably reduced, accurate inversion of the ionosphere parameters is achieved through
ray tracing and multi-target optimization, the structure is simpler, the method does not depend on a complex model or a large amount of experience data, and the method is suitable for large-scale popularization and application. The optimal ionosphere parameter can be approached more quickly and effectively, and the real-time performance and accuracy of ionosphere
electron concentration inversion are improved.
