  • Assuming a strongly diffuse

scattering regime, the received power can be modeled with – extended radar cross section – system gain – receiver effects

  • DDM produced with ~1000 x

1ms integrations – limited coherence

  • Most points in the spatial

domain map ambiguously to delay, doppler domain

  • Specular zone is typically

processed for wind retrieval

Stare Processing

Example RD35 TD49 PRN 9 Collected by TDS-1

  • Similar to traditional

scatterometers

  • Resolution tradeoff
  • Generates a stare

profile

  • MSS estimated by

fitting simulated profile

Variable Window Size

  • Iso-range lines becomes closer

as delay increases.

  • Iso-range gradient -> iso-Dop

gradient as delay increases

  • Inefficient spatial footprint

– effective area in BRE << bounding box

Impact on Resolution

  • Poor cross-track resolution

regardless of window at high delays as Iso-range -> iso-Doppler. I.e Inherent to the GNSS-r bi-static config

  • Cross track not as important

as along

SMN

  • Averaging Signal Power over

multiple d-D cells. More effective use of resolution cell

  • More measurements -> less

variance in stare profile

Conclusions and Future Work

Stare Processing

  • Analogue to multi-look / spotlight SAR
  • footprint not constant
  • SNR is worse at high delays

Variable length window

  • footprint is more consistent
  • integral / resolution is larger
  • SNR improvement at non-zero delays

Future work

  • Extension to resolve wind direction

– Ambiguous Stare Points
