油膜覆盖的非线性海面电磁散射多普勒谱特性研究

当海面上方漂浮油膜时,海面的毛细波成分将因油膜的阻尼作用而被破坏.本文采用PM谱,基于Marangoni阻尼效应,建立油膜覆盖的一维Creamer非线性海面模型,并简单分析了油膜的阻尼作用对海面轮廓的影响.在此基础上,利用迭代物理光学方法研究了L波段下该模型的后向散射回波的多普勒谱特性,通过与基于线性模型的海面散射回波多普勒谱对比发现,在大中入射角下,非线性海面散射回波与线性海面多普勒谱的差异不可忽略,说明采用Creamer非线性理论建立海面几何模型的必要性.研究发现,油膜覆盖海面的散射回波的多普勒频移及展宽与干净海面雷达回波的多普勒特性具有明显差异,这表明海面上漂浮的油膜对雷达散射回波的多普勒特性具有显著的影响.数值结果重点分析了入射角、油膜参数以及风速对油膜覆盖海面散射回波多普勒谱展宽和频移的影响规律.     

海面的激光散射特性

 基于随机面元模型，建立了海面对激光散射的理论模型，详细分析了海面散射的退偏振特性。理论分析表明：除后向外其它方向的散射光都存在部分退偏振现象；但是浮于海面上或悬浮于海面的物体表面对激光散射所具有的退偏振特性明显不同于海面散射的退偏振特性。因此可以根据这些差异来遥感海面的漂浮或悬浮物体，该结论已经被实验证实。     

含泡沫面元模型的海面电磁散射研究

传统计算海面电磁散射的方法都是通过求集平均的方法来统计得到不同输入参数下海面总回波系数的均值曲线,并不需要具体的几何样本.随着合成孔径雷达以及雷达成像的发展,为了充分描述海面各点的分布特征,需要得到海面具体面元的散射结果,同时随着海面上方风速的增大,海面泡沫层的出现会对散射结果产生相当大的影响.本文采用海面模型面元化的思想,将海面散射的贡献面元化,同时考虑泡沫层对大入射角下散射结果的影响,计算了不同风速下海面的后向散射系数,并与实测数据做对比分析,验证了方法的准确性.

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.

Numerical study of electromagnetic scattering from one-dimensional nonlinear fractal sea surface

In recent years, linear fractal sea surface models have been developed for the sea surface in order to establish an electromagnetic backscattering model. Unfortunately, the sea surface is always nonlinear, particularly at high sea states. We present a nonlinear fractal sea surface model and derive an electromagnetic backscattering model. Using this model, we numerically calculate the normalized radar cross section (NRCS) of a nonlinear sea surface. Comparing the averaged NRCS between linear and nonlinear fractal models, we show that the NRCS of a linear fractal sea surface underestimates the NRCS of the real sea surface, especially for sea states with high fractal dimensions, and for dominant ocean surface gravity waves that are either very short or extremely long.     

Microwave Doppler spectra of sea return at small incidence angles: specular point scattering contribution

It is well known that the sea return echo contains contributions from at least two scattering mechanisms. In addition to the resonant Bragg scattering, the specular point scattering plays an important role as the incidence angle becomes smaller (≤20o). Here, in combination with the Kirchhoff integral equation of scattering field and the stationary phase approximation, analytical expressions for Doppler shift and spectral bandwidth of specular point scattering, which are insensitive to the polarization state, are derived theoretically. For comparison, the simulated results related to the two-scale method (TSM) and the method of moment (MOM) are also presented. It is found that the Doppler shift and the spectral bandwidth given by TSM are insufficient at small incidence angles. However, a comparison between the analytical results and the numerical simulations by MOM in the backscatter configuration shows that our proposed formulas are valid for the specular point scattering case. In this work, the dependences of the predicted results on incidence angle, radar frequency, and wind speed are also discussed. The obtained conclusions seem promising for a better understanding of the Doppler spectra of the specular point scattering fields from time-varying sea surfaces.     

Investigation of composite electromagnetic scattering from ship-like target on the randomly rough sea surface using FDTD method

Composite electromagnetic scattering from a two-dimensional (2D) ship-like target on a one-dimensional sea surface is investigated by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. A uniaxial perfectly matched layer is adopted for truncation of FDTD lattices. The FDTD updated equations can be used for the total computation domain by choosing the uniaxial parameters properly. To validate the proposed numerical technique, a 2D infinitely long cylinder over the sea surface is taken into account first. The variation of angular distribution of the scattering changing with incident angle is calculated. The results show good agreement with the conventional moment method. Finally, the influence of the incident angle, the polarization, and the size of the ship-like target on the composite scattering coefficient is discussed in detail.     

Investigation on global positioning system signal scattering and propagation over the rough sea surface

This paper is devoted to the study of polarization properties, scattering properties and propagation properties of global positioning system (GPS) scattering signal over the rough sea surface. To investigate the polarization and the scattering properties, the scattering field and the bistatic scattering coefficient of modified Kirchhoff approximation with using the tapered incident wave is derived in detail. In modeling the propagation properties of the GPS scattering signal in the evaporation duct, the initial field of parabolic equation traditionally computed by the antenna pattern with using fast Fourier transform (FFT) is replaced by the GPS scattering field. And the propagation properties of GPS scattering signal in the evaporation duct with different evaporation duct heights and elevation angles of GPS are discussed by the improved discrete mixed Fourier transform with taking into account the sea surface roughness.     

Study on electromagnetic backscattering and Doppler spectrum of a moving spherical target above time-varying sea surface

The surface electric current of the sea surface and the first-order scattering field from the spherical target were obtained by employing Physical Optics method and Mie theory, respectively. The backscattering field of the time-evolving sea surface was calculated by using Kirchhoff Approximation. Meanwhile, by taking the advantage of a newly developed technique that utilizes the reciprocity theorem, the difficulty in formulating the secondary coupling scattering fields from the spherical target above the sea surface was reduced. The dependence of the secondary coupling backscattering field on the size and the position of the spherical target was discussed, and the characteristic of the Doppler spectrum of the composite backscattering field with different incident angles was analyzed in detail.

Investigation on the Doppler shifts induced by 1-D ocean surface wave displacements by the first order small slope approximation theory: comparison of hydrodynamic models

Based on the first order small slope approximation theory (SSA-I) for oceanic surface electromagnetic scattering,this paper predicts the Doppler shifts induced by wave displacements.Theoretical results from three distinct hydrodynamic models are compared:a linear model,the nonlinear Barrick model,and the nonlinear Creamer model.Meanwhile,the predicted Doppler shifts are also compared with the results associated to the resonant Bragg waves and the so-called long waves in the framework of the two-scale model.The dependences of the predicted Doppler shifts on the incident angle,the radar frequency,and the wind speed are discussed.At large incident angles,the predicted Doppler shifts for the linear and nonlinear Barrick models are found to be insensitive to the wind speed and this phenomenon is not coincident with the experimental data.The conclusions obtained in this paper are promising for better understanding the properties of time dependent radar echoes from oceanic surfaces.
