Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of clutter suppression for co-orbital transceiver spaceborne radar, this paper firstly analyzes the influence of the baseline length of the transceiver radar and the isometric contour on the existence of the detection intersection area. Secondly, for a certain isometric contour, the relation between the receiving cone angle and the clutter Doppler frequency and the relation between the sum of the detection range and the clutter Doppler frequency is analyzed. Finally, based on the existence of both positive and negative values of the cosine of the receiving cone angle, the Doppler frequency is analyzed under the reference transceiver satellite and two auxiliary satellites when the cosine of the receiving cone angle is 0. Theoretical analysis shows that baseline length and isometric contour affect the existence of detection area and the value of cosine of receiving cone angle, and the correctness is verified by simulation test, which can provide a basis for the selection of the baseline length and the application of the co-orbital spaceborne transceiver radar.
