System Error Analysis and Calibration Methods for Multi-channel Sar
نویسندگان
چکیده
For multi-channel SAR system, since the minimum antenna area constraint is eliminated, wide swath and high resolution SAR image can be achieved. However, compared to mono-channel SAR system, there exist many deleterious factors in multi-channel SAR system which significantly degrade the quality of SAR image. In this paper, all the deleterious factors in the system are analyzed and classified according to their impact on the SAR imaging processing, in addition an new array error estimation method is presented. The validity of the proposed method is verified by experimental results of measured Tri-channel SAR data.

متن کاملGeometric Calibration and Accuracy Verification of the GF-3 Satellite
The GF-3 satellite is the first multi-polarization synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging satellite in China, which operates in the C band with a resolution of 1 m. Although the SAR satellite system was geometrically calibrated during the in-orbit commissioning phase, there are still some system errors that affect its geometric positioning accuracy. In this study, these errors are classified in...
متن کاملSignal Errors Analysis of Active Calibration via Transponder
Quantitative analysis of SAR signatures require an absolute radiometric calibration of the complete SAR system. The active reflector named as transponder is an effective SAR calibration device that can yield a larger radar cross section than a corner reflector, and decouple the transponder from the background scatterers, which can be used to calibrate the SAR for radiometry, polarimetry, and in...

This paper deals with a relative calibration approach in terms of non-reciprocal transceivers in a multi-user MISO-OFDM TDD broadcast scenario where linear pre-equalization strategies are applied. The calibrated system, which is achieved by solving a total least squares problem, is compared with robust minimum mean square error pre-equalizer designs. Simulation results including channel estimat...

This ADC is an 16-channel time-interleaved 5-bit asynchronous SAR ADC for UWB radios. It proposes 400aF unit capacitors, offset calibration, a self-resetting comparator and a distributed clock divider to optimize the performance. Only a simple calibration of the channel-offset is needed while the other error sources (Gain mismatch error, time-skew error, etc.) are minimized by intrinsic design....
