The invention specifically discloses an antenna pattern measurement method based on a segmented
gain variable threshold single-bit
receiver, and relates to the technical field of
synthetic aperture radar radiometric calibration. The method comprises the following steps: analyzing a monotonic relationship between quantized
signal power and STR, and establishing a
quantitative model; constructing a received
signal amplitude reconstruction strategy of all sampling rates and SAR bandwidth ratios; determining the
maximum amplitude and the minimum amplitude of the received
signal, segmenting the amplitude of the received signal, and setting a threshold value; analyzing the signal spectrum and estimating quantized signal power; calculating the STR and the actual received signal power; and calculating
azimuth and distance antenna pattern sampling values, calculating
azimuth dimension and pitching dimension gains of the
radar antenna according to a
radar equation, and reconstructing an antenna pattern by using polynomial fitting. According to the invention, the structure of a
radar pattern
gain measurement
receiver is simplified, the cost is reduced, the
measurement precision is guaranteed, and the large-scale deployment and high-precision
estimation requirements of an SAR
radiometric calibration active
receiver can be met.
