Spaceborne Rotating Fanbeam Scatterometer, RFSCAT, has a wider continuous swath that can provide a large number of independent samples of Sigma0 for wind speed and direction retrieving. But the large swath and footprint result in a wideband Doppler frequency shift. For a low earth orbiting satellite, the maxim Doppler bandwidth between forward and backward echoes will be about 500 KHz. Even in a single...
This paper introduces an on-board signal processing subsystem of a spaceborne rotating fan-beam scatterometer in China. The subsystem processes returned signal after downconversion to intermediate frequency. To reduce the data stream downlinked from the satellite, the final data bins are summed into 34 energy slices, each with a range resolution of 10 km. Then a simulation process is adopted to analyze...
Pulse compression with very low sidelobes is one of challenges in the design of spaceborne weather radar. To detect the weak echoes of clouds occurring near the strong echoes of sea surface, sidelobe performance below -60 db is needed in the pulse compression system. To achieve such low sidelobes, high SNR and linearity are required in the radar system. But in spaceborne radar system, the transmitter...
