Abstract
This paper presents a simulation of cross-track interferometry (XTI) for TOPS imaging mode with moving sea surface, which includes ocean scene modeling, raw data simulation and interferometric processing. An interferometric elevation of oceanic surface with TOPS imaging mode is acquired during the simulation. Due to the random motion of the oceanic surface, a model of time-domain raw data generation is established to update the normalized radar cross section (NRCS) and the height of the oceanic surface at each azimuth time. For the TOPS mode, the antenna beams steers in azimuth direction resulting in high Doppler centroid frequency variation, which requires stringent coregistration accuracy. In this paper, an Improved Spectral Diversity (ISD) coregistration algorithm is proposed to improve the coregistration accuracy and reduce the elevation measurement error of the ocean surface. Both Spectral Diversity (SD) algorithm and ISD algorithm are simulated and the simulation results show the ISD can effectively reduce the elevation error.
