低波段天基雷达射频干扰机理及抑制方法

天基合成孔径雷达(SAR)是一种重要的主动遥感设备,在测绘、目标警戒、资源探测等方面具有独特的全天时、全天候优势。但由于低波段电磁频谱异常拥挤复杂,也容易受到其他无线电设备的非蓄意射频干扰(RFI)。本文针对工作于P、L波段的天基SAR系统,分析其常见的地面射频干扰源及其干扰机理,并构建典型的窄带与宽带干扰模型,比较分析了频域陷波、最小均方(LMS)算法、自适应线谱增强(ALE)、特征子空间分解与时频滤波等多种干扰抑制算法,并在卫星实测数据的基础上进行仿真验证抑制宽带干扰的有效性。仿真结果表明:时频滤波算法抑制宽带干扰效果最好,造成的信号损失最小,能够为后续天基合成孔径雷达的抗干扰算法设计提供决策依据。     

雷达图像幅值空间变迹算法

针对旁瓣抑制，给出了一种幅值空间变迹算法。该算法与一般空间变迹法不同，主要通过每一像素点幅值与相邻两个Nyquist采样点幅值之和做比较来判别该点处于主瓣还是旁瓣，来加以不同处理。在整数倍Nyquist采样的情况下，这种算法不仅压低旁瓣还使主瓣变窄，能得到比传统SVA更高的分辨率，在非整数倍Nyquist采样的情况下也比SVA具有更好的稳健性。对此进行了实验研究，结果证实了该算法的有效性。

基于实测星载原子钟数据的脉冲星守时方法

利用脉冲星估计星载原子钟钟差是实现卫星自主守时的途径之一。为充分分析基于脉冲星的自主守时系统性能，利用实测的星载原子钟钟差数据和中子星内部组成探测器(neutron star interior composition explorer, NICER)的PSR B1937+21脉冲星的观测数据，对比分析了星载原子钟和脉冲星的误差特性。设计了脉冲星守时系统框架和星载原子钟钟差估计方法。以实测的星载原子钟钟差数据为基础，计算分析了脉冲星守时系统的性能。计算结果表明，若脉冲星的脉冲到达时间（time of arrival, TOA）解算精度为1 μs/30 d，则原子钟钟差估计精度可达到优于1 μs的水平，初步验证了脉冲星守时系统的可行性。     

A non-local vectorial total variational model for multichannel SAR image speckle suppression

This paper aims at the multichannel synthetic aperture radar(SAR)image speckle reduction.This paper proposes a novel energy minimized regularization model for multichannel image denoising,which is an extension of the non-local total variational model for gray-scale image.It contains two terms,namely the vectorial data fidelity term and the non-local vectorial total variation term.The latter is constructed by high-dimensional non-local gradient that contains the structure information of the multichannel image.The existence and the uniqueness of the solution of the model are proved.A fixed point iterative algorithm is designed to acquire the solution of this model.The convergence property of this algorithm is proved as well.This model is applied to the multipolarimetric and multi-temporal RADARSAT-2 images despeckling.The result shows that this model performs better than the original vectorial total variational model on texture preserving.

An extended chirp scaling algorithm for spaceborne sliding spotlight synthetic aperture radar imaging

A system impulse response with low sidelobes is critical in synthetic aperture radar（SAR） images because sidelobes contribute to noise and interfere with nearby scatterers. However,the conventional tricks of sidelobe suppression are unable to be exactly applied to the case of spaceborne sliding spotlight SAR due to great azimuth shifts in both time and frequency domains. In this paper, an extended chirp scaling algorithm is presented for spaceborne sliding spotlight SAR data imaging. The proposed algorithm firstly uses the spectral analysis（SPECAN） technique to avoid the azimuth spectrum folding effect and then employs the chirp scaling（CS） algorithm to achieve data focusing, i.e., the so-called two-step approach. To suppress the sidelobe level, an efficient strategy for the azimuth spectral weighting which only involves matrix multiplications and short fast Fourier transformations（FFTs） is proposed, which is a post-process executed on the focused SAR image and particularly simple to be implemented. The SAR image processed by the proposed extended CS algorithm is very precise and perfectly phase-preserving. In the end, computer simulation results verify the analysis and confirm the validity of the proposed algorithm.     

Evaluating the feasibility of GPS measurements of SSH on board a ship along the Portuguese West Coast

Aiming to validate coastal altimetry data, an exploratory experiment was carried out, using a survey ship with onboard GPS and motion compensation systems. The ship navigation plan followed a track as coincident as possible with the passage of two altimetry satellites, Envisat and Jason-1, along the Portuguese coast, in June 2007.
