摘要: 探月工程四期嫦娥七号搭载的月球微波成像雷达未来在轨运行后, 不会在月面布控定标器, 因此无法实现在轨外场定标. 为确保获得月面高精度影像数据, 提出了一种地面标定方法. 该方法结合雷达系统内定标+内场性能标定, 在地面测试中通过在全温环境下测量内定标网络温度特性获取内定标精度、内定标通道一致性, 在暗室中获取内定标常数, 借助暗室构建内场无线收发环境实现系统发射和接收通道绝对收发增益和收发通道稳定度的精确标定. 地面标定获取的基础数据可用于在轨内定标常数、绝对和相对辐射精度、极化通道一致性等指标的校准, 为高分辨率月面探测提供保障.Abstract: After the Chang’E-7 lunar microwave imaging radar in the fourth phase of the Lunar Exploration Project is put into on-orbit operation in the future, calibration devices will not be deployed on the lunar surface, making on-orbit External calibration impossible. To ensure the acquisition of high-precision lunar surface image data, a ground calibration method is proposed. This method combines the internal calibration of the radar system with the performance calibration in the inner field. During ground testing, the internal calibration accuracy and the consistency of internal calibration channels are obtained by measuring the temperature characteristics of the internal calibration network under a full-temperature environment. The internal calibration constants are acquired in an anechoic chamber. By constructing a wireless transceiver environment in the inner field with the help of the anechoic chamber, the absolute transceiver gains and the stability of the transceiver channels of the system are accurately calibrated. The basic data obtained through ground calibration can be used for the calibration of indicators such as on-orbit internal calibration constants, absolute and relative radiation accuracy, and polarization channel consistency, providing guarantee for high-resolution lunar surface exploration.
