基于不同散射机制特征的海杂波时变多普勒谱模型

海杂波的多普勒谱建模对采用多普勒处理技术的雷达进行有效的海杂波抑制和目标检测具有重要的意义.本文分别考虑Bragg,白冠和破碎波三种散射机制对应的多普勒谱分量的特征,对三种谱分量的频移和展宽进行分离,并引入附加速度频移量,提出了基于不同散射机制特征的雷达海杂波时变多普勒谱模型.该模型假设谱强度为受观测时间区间影响的随机变量,能够同时适用于平均多普勒谱与短时多普勒谱建模.通过分别对黄海海域实测的岸基P,S波段海杂波平均多普勒谱与短时多普勒谱建模测试,结果表明该模型相对传统模型的建模精度更高,尤其体现在短时谱的观测时间较长和平均谱形式较为复杂的情况下,建模误差显著减小.     

Estimation of sea clutter inherent Doppler spectrum from shipborne S-band radar sea echo

Measurement of shipborne radar sea echo is instrumental in collecting the sea clutter data in open sea areas. However,the ship movement would introduce an extra Doppler component into the spectrum of the sea clutter, so the sea clutter inherent spectrum must be estimated prior to investigating the sea clutter Doppler characteristics from the shipborne radar sea echo. In this paper we show some results about a shipborne sea clutter measurement experiment that was conducted in the South China Sea in a period between 2017 and 2018; abundant clutter data have been collected by using a shipborne S-band clutter measurement radar. To obtain the sea clutter inherent Doppler spectrum from these data, an estimation method, based on the mapping relationship between the shipborne clutter spectrum and the inherent clutter spectrum, is proposed. This method is validated by shipborne clutter data sets under the same measuring conditions except for the ship speed. Using this method, the characteristics of the Doppler spectrum lineshapes in the South China Sea are calculated and analyzed according to different sea states, wave directions, and radar resolutions, which can be instrumental in designing the radar target detection algorithms.     

含卷浪Pierson-Moscowitz谱海面电磁散射研究

海尖峰的存在会导致雷达虚警概率的上升和多目标环境中检测性能下降,因此研究海尖峰现象意义重大.海尖峰现象的一个重要特点是海面的水平极化散射强度接近甚至大于垂直极化散射强度,卷浪被认为是产生海尖峰的一个原因.首先建立了卷浪和Pierson-Moscowitz谱海面的共同模型,利用矩量法研究了卷浪模型的水平和垂直后向电磁散射特征,包括入射频率、入射角、风速和风向对电磁散射特征的影响.发现在小擦地角情况和较大风速下超级现象(水平散射强度大于垂直极化散射强度)比较明显,从而推论出在小擦地角入射下产生海尖峰现象的概率较大.同时对时变卷浪在小擦地角入射时的海杂波幅值分布特性和多普勒谱进行了分析.     

Signatures of deterministic chaos in radar sea clutter and ocean surface winds

Several time series of wind components and X-band Doppler radar signals, gathered concurrently over a approximately 0.01 km(2) area of the ocean surface, were examined for evidence of a low-dimensional dynamical attractor with the Grassburger-Procaccia algorithm. Only the vertically polarized radar reflectivity and the horizontal surface wind speed time series suggested the presence of such an attractor. The correlation dimension for these two observables appeared to be nearly the same. This suggested a working hypothesis that the dynamical behavior of both the vertically polarized radar reflectivity and the horizontal surface winds are controlled by a single low-dimensional dynamical system. The hypothesis was further examined by predicting winds from radar reflectivity, using a neural network deterministic model, and comparing the prediction performance with that of the SEASAT statistical algorithm for retrieving surface winds from radar backscatter. It was found that the deterministic model did, in fact, achieve a higher prediction correlation coefficient for a limited time period. (c) 1995 American Institute of Physics.     

Performance comparison of detection methods for weak target based on two-dimensional fractal sea surface

A detection method of the weak radar target is studied by applying fuzzy theory and multifractal correlation theory based on a two-dimensional fractal sea surface model. Firstly, a two-dimensional fractal sea surface model and its backscattering coefficient are introduced, the backscattering coefficient is a universal model affected by seawater permittivity, electromagnetic wave incidence angle, incident frequency, wind speed and wind direction factors. A novel two-dimensional wideband radar echo model, which is considered as a time-domain convolution of the stepped frequency signal radiated by airborne radar and the backscattering coefficient, is derived. Secondly, multifractal correlation theory is elaborated and a computation method of a membership degree of multifractal correlation spectrum is proposed, fuzzy theory and the AdaBoost algorithm are applied to the target detection. Finally, several target detection methods are compared with CA-CFAR and works of the predecessors. The results of the comparative study show its rationality of the two-dimensional wideband radar echo model and the superiority of wideband radars in detection performance, it is also seen that the multifractal correlation spectrum outperforms the multifractal spectrum in the probability of detection.     

Forward and backward probabilistic inference of the sea clutter

The fast dynamics of the sea surface result in highly volatile time series of the sea clutter. Measures made by a moving sensor which observes the sea from different points of view cannot be compared directly if the clutter has significantly evolved during the sampling interval. The issue of transporting measures to a common time reference is addressed using a model in which the sea clutter and associated observables are homogeneous Markov processes described by stochastic differential equations. We solve the Fokker–Planck equations of the speckle and radar cross-section (RCS) to obtain their present to future transition probabilities, from which we derive those of the intensity and the real and imaginary parts of the reflectivity. Using Bayes’s formula and the independence property of the speckle and RCS, we show that the formula remain valid for the present to past transition probabilities. Numerical distributions are systematically computed and match the analytical distributions. The resulting two-way prediction capability can be used to probabilistically balance the dynamics of the sea clutter. A series of deterministic measures from different positions and times is transformed into a series of probabilistic measures from different positions at the same time.

基于雷达海杂波的区域性非均匀蒸发波导反演方法

由于不同海域上空气象条件的不同, 海上蒸发波导在大尺度海面上空发生时通常是区域性非均匀的, 这一特性使得该环境中的电波传播特性相对于水平均匀的蒸发波导环境情况而明显不同, 因此, 进行区域性非均匀的蒸发波导探测反演对正确预测电波传播特性及提高雷达系统的工作性能具有重要的意义. 考虑到实际应用中蒸发波导信息获取手段的多样性, 将中尺度数值气象模式MM5预报的区域性蒸发波导修正折射率剖面作为先验信息, 提出了一种含该先验信息的区域性非均匀蒸发波导的雷达海杂波后验概率估计模型. 该模型使用主分量分析法对蒸发波导的水平非均匀性进行参数化建模, 然后通过贝叶斯理论将修正折射率剖面参数的先验概率分布、后验概率分布和似然函数联系起来, 利用雷达海杂波实现蒸发波导剖面参数的最大后验概率估计反演. 通过我国东海海域的实际区域性非均匀蒸发波导反演测试, 表明该模型能够以更高的精度实现区域性非均匀蒸发波导的反演.

Investigation of EM scattering from electrically large sea surface with breaking wave at low grazing angles

According to the high-resolution radar data, backscattering scattering from sea surfaces may give rise to super events of strong scattering and large Doppler offsets for horizontal (HH) polarization at low grazing angles (LGA), which are usually considered to be caused by breaking waves. In this paper, the mesoscale breaking wave model is introduced to account for the contribution of breaking waves, which can be responsible for sea spikes and high Doppler shift. The backscattering radar cross-section (RCS) from a single breaking wave is computed and the scattering from sea surfaces is analyzed by a composite surface scattering model, in which the phase factor of every facet is modified by the capillary waves. By using the slope criterion, the spatial distribution of the breaking waves is obtained. At the same time, the RCS of sea surfaces with breaking waves is calculated and the results agree with measured data well at LGA for HH polarization. Considering the Bragg phase velocity, orbital motion of facets and wind drift, the Doppler spectrum of sea surface with breaking wave is simulated, and when compared with the result without breaking wave, there is a good improvement for HH polarization, and for the vertical polarization, the revision is little, which are agreeable with the results of recent researches.     

海杂波的分段分数布朗运动模型

主要研究了分段分数布朗运动(PFBM)模型在雷达海杂波分形建模中的应用.由于自然界和人造系统中研究对象不具有数学上完美的分形特性, 从而研究对象的分形特性无法在整个尺度区间上成立, 传统上, 海杂波的单一分形模型仅利用无标度区间内海杂波的自相似信息进行参数估计, 并没有考虑海杂波在无标度区间以外的尺度下所包含的信息.分段分数布朗运动从频域角度对海杂波频谱进行分段描述, 对应到时域即从粗略尺度和精细尺度两方面描述海杂波时间序列.结合海杂波产生的物理背景, 该模型可以为海杂波时间序列在粗略尺度和精细尺度下表现出的不同粗糙度提供机理性解释.在此基础上, 还研究了具有不同多普勒频率的运动目标对海杂波的影响, 结果表明运动目标对粗略尺度和精细尺度下海杂波的影响程度是不同的.

浅海起伏海面下气泡层对声传播的影响

分析了起伏海面下风浪引起的气泡层对海面反射损失和对声传播的影响.一方面,气泡层会改变原来水中的声速剖面;另一方面,气泡层会对声波产生散射和吸收作用.考虑以上两方面的因素,分析了不同风速下气泡层对海面反射损失和声传播损失的影响,仿真发现,在风速大于10 m/s时,对于2 k Hz以上频率时气泡层对小掠射角下海面反射损失的影响不可忽视.在给定的水声环境中,当声源深度和接收深度都为7 m时,风速为16 m/s的风浪下生成的气泡层,在10 km处对3 k Hz的声传播损失的影响达到8.1 d B.当声源深度和接收深度都为18 m时,风速为16 m/s的风浪下生成的气泡层,在10 km处对3 k Hz的声传播损失的影响达到4 d B.
