On the Separation of Dynamic Scattering and Ionospheric Effects in Sar Data

چکیده
In this paper, methods to separate the ionospheric and the scattering contributions on SAR data are proposed, and the dynamic components of the ionosphere and the lithosphere are quantitatively retrieved. These methods exploit changes of squint and time in the azimuth subbands.

Ionospheric Correction by Means of Coherent Scatterers
The operation of low frequency SAR sensors on space-borne platforms is perturbed by the presence of Earth’s ionosphere. The purpose of this paper is to outline an initial methodology exploiting the potential of Coherent Scatterers (CSs) for the estimation and correction of the different effects induced by ionospheric disturbances on SAR images. Based on the high spectral correlation and the poi...
متن کاملInvestigation of the effects of geomagnetic storms on ionospheric irregularities using the combination of ground-based GNSS and SWARM satellites
Geomagnetic storms are one of the main causes of ionospheric perturbations in different sizes, depending on their intensity, which could disturb radio signals passing through this medium. On September 6-12, 2017, the sudden storm commencement (SSC) was the most massive geomagnetic storm of the year due to the X9 solar flare caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME). IMF-Bz and Dst values increase...
متن کاملMapping Aurora Activity with SAR - A Case Study
Ionospheric propagation effects can have significant impact on the signal properties of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems and they increase with decreasing carrier frequency. Recently, theoretical analyzes of ionospheric distortions in low-frequency SAR signals have indicated a multitude effects that are likely to affect the quality of SAR, interferometric SAR (InSAR), and polarimetric SAR...
متن کاملMicrowave Imaging Using SAR
Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol.-SAR) allows us to implement the recognition and classification of radar targets. This article investigates the arrangement of scatterers by SAR data and proposes a new Look-up Table of Region (LTR). This look-up table is based on the combination of (entropy H/Anisotropy A) and (Anisotropy A/scattering mechanism α), which has not been reported up now. ...
متن کاملA Statistical Survey of Ionospheric Effects on L-band Sar Data
Recent theoretical analyses of ionospheric distortions in low-frequency SAR signals have indicated many effects that are likely to affect the quality of SAR, interferometric SAR (InSAR), and polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) data (see [1-5]). Faraday rotation, relative range shifts, internal deformations of the image amplitude, range and azimuth blurring, and interferometric phase errors are some of th...
