摘要

摘要: 简缩极化(CP)模式是一种新型双极化模式。在实际工程应用中，包括简缩极化模式在内的所有双极化模式均无法直接通过外定标的方法补偿发射误差。因而有必要对发射误差所带来的影响进行详细分析。针对极化SAR系统，目前已有学者提出使用误差的最大归一化误差(MNE)参数对极化SAR系统的极化质量做分析评估。该文针对发射圆极化波的简缩极化模式提出了一种基于实际发射极化波极化轴比(AR)参数的发射误差分析方法。首先，通过仿真分析不同发射误差源对AR参数的影响，与此同时还展示了相同发射误差源影响下的MNE参数；通过分析对比，总结了AR参数相对MNE参数的3个优点；最后，使用高分三号卫星的实际测量误差数据与圆极化发射波实验系统的实测数据验证了该文提出的发射误差评估方法的有效性。

Abstract: Compact Polarimetric (CP) mode is a new dual-pol mode introduced in the last decade. The main current CP mode transmits circular polarized waves. Data in the form of Stokes parameters obtained by this mode has rotational invariance. In real engineering applications, transmit distortions in all dual-pol modes, including the CP mode, cannot be directly compensated with external calibration methods. Therefore, it is necessary to analysis the influences caused by transmit distortions. Until now, the Maximum Normalized Error (MNE) parameter has already been proposed by existing researches to analyze polarimetric quality of the Polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) system. This paper has proposed an analysis method to analysis the influence of transmit distortions in polarimetric modes with circular polarimetric wave in transmission, based on the Axial Ratio (AR) parameter of real transmitted wave. Firstly, this paper has analyzed the influence of different transmit distortion sources to AR parameter with simulations. Meanwhile, this part has also demonstrated the influence of same distortion sources to the MNE parameter. Through comparison of this two results, this paper has concluded three advantages of the AR parameter over the MNE parameter. At last, the effectiveness of the proposed evaluation method has been verified using real measured GF-3 distortion data and test data obtained by experimental system, which transmit circular polarized waves.
