Abstract

In this paper, we studied the IRF performances of the chirp signal used in the SAR system. The most important factors that degrade IRF performances are amplitude and phase errors. Each factor can be represented to linear, quadratic, random and ripple terms. That can be extracted by a quadratic polynomial curve fitting of chirp waveform. We analyzed the IRF performances by the error terms and supposed the minimum value of RF non-linearity to meet the specification of the PSLR and ISLR.

본 논문에서는 SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar)에 사용되는 광대역 첩 신호에 대한 IRF(Impulse Response Function) 성능을 분석하였다. 영상 레이더의 첩 신호에서 영상품질에 크게 영향을 주는 인자는 진폭과 위상으로 크게 분류할 수 있다. 이 값들을 2차 다항식 커브 피팅을 사용하여 선형, 직교, 랜덤 그리고 리플 이득으로 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 인자들에 의한 IRF 영향을 분석하고, PSLR(Peak Side Lobe Ratio) 및 ISLR(Integrated Side Lobe Ratio)의 규격을 만족하기 위한 RF 비선형성에 의한 오차 값들의 최소치를 제안하였다.
