Airborne Doppler Navigation System Application for Measurement of the Water Surface Backscattering Signature
نویسنده
چکیده
A method for measuring the water surface backscattering signature using the airborne Doppler navigation system in addition to its standard navigational application is discussed. A case of an airplane circle flight measurement of the azimuth normalized radar cross section curve of the water surface is considered. This is done in the range of middle incidence angles by the Doppler navigation system. The system operates in the scatterometer mode and uses a fore-beam directed to the right side at a typical mounting angle in the vertical plane that is not so far from nadir at a straight flight. An algorithm for measuring the water surface backscattering signature is proposed.

Integration Scheme for SINS/GPS System Based on Vertical Channel Decomposition and In-Motion Alignment
Accurate alignment and vertical channel instability play an important role in the strap-down inertial navigation system (SINS), especially in the case that precise navigation has to be achieved over long periods of time. Due to poor initialization as well as the cumulative errors of low-cost inertial measurement units (IMUs), initial alignment is not sufficient to achieve required navigation ac...
