MODEL OF A MATRIX CROSSCORRELATION FUNCTION OF THE PROBING AND REFLECTED VECTOR SIGNALS FOR A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR ON AN AERIAL CARRIER

In order to simulate the process of design development in full on computer models, including virtual tests of the synthetic aperture radar on an air carrier in model media, the study develops a structural scheme of the conceptual design of the synthetic aperture radar on an air carrier. The scheme is invariant with respect to the type of an air carrier with a synthetic aperture radar: an aircraft, a helicopter, an unmanned aerial vehicle and similar ones: an air carrier "enters" it by only an automatic control system, a model of trajectory instabilities and a spectrum of frequencies of elastic oscillations of its design. To perform a computer simulation of radar systems with full polarization sensing, a model of a matrix cross-correlation function of probing and reflected vector signals is proposed. As a model of the scattering object, a set of independent point reflectors distributed over space and generally having different rates of motion is accepted. The reflected signal is a sum of elementary signals, their form completely repeats the shape of the emitted signal, and the amplitude, the phase and polarization are respectively determined by the coordinate, velocity and polarization parameters of elementary reflectors forming a spatially extended object. Taking into account the developed models for the formation of the vector sounding signal and the matrix response function of the distributed radar object, a block-diagram of the model of the matrix cross-correlation function of the emitted and reflected vector signals is proposed. A block-diagram is the basis for the development of an algorithm and a program for computer modeling of the primary signal processing in a radar station with full polarization sensing.
