2 Methods for Ionospheric Correction of SAR Ionosphere causes range of effects especially in low-frequency SAR systems Interferometric phase (differential) Faraday Rotation Azimuth Shift Range Shift Ionosphere (TEC) Dispersion 2
3 Ionospheric Artifacts in Radar Data Amplitude Distortions Phase Distortions Rainforest, Brazil 3
4 Ionospheric Distortions How to Fix Them? 1. Mathematical Modeling and Inversion: 4π π π ψ = TEC + TEC TEC c f c f c f TEC = Total Electron Content of Ionosphere ( f f ) TEC ( f f ) Phase Distortions Image Distortions Measure these! Invert for these! Image correction & creation of ionospheric maps 2. Statistical Modeling If mathematical modeling fails, statistical modeling mitigates effects on final target parameters Realistic modeling of the accuracy and correlation of data 4
5 Mathematical Modeling and Inversion Faraday Rotation (FR) Based Inversion (Freeman, 2004; Quegan, 2010; Nicoll & Meyer, 2008) Transmitted Ω ground level Range Split-Spectrum Based Inversion (Rosen, 2010; Papathanassiou, 2009; Meyer & Bamler, 2005; Brcic & Meyer, 2010) Azimuth Autofocus Based Inversion (Papathanassiou, 2008; Meyer & Nicoll, 2008; Meyer, 2010) Hybrid Methods (Meyer, 2005; Meyer, 2010; Meyer & Liu, 2011) 5
6 Advances in Optimizing Mapping Performance Method 1 Method 2 Method 3 Method 5 Method 6 Method 7 6
7 Optimizing Ionospheric Correction Mitigation of ionospheric effects Original phase from Faraday Rotation and azimuthshit estimates reduced phase distortion and improved coherence In Case Signal Correction Fails: Statistical Modeling: Statistical modeling effects on final target parameters through Beforemitigates correction correction realistic modelingfrof the accuracy and correlation of data CEOS 11, Fairbanks, AK FR & Az. shifts Courtesy of Jun Su Kim, DLR Before and after correction Coherence comparison: Corrected phase F. Meyer et al. 7 7
8 Power Law Model of Small-Scale Ionospheric Signals Most small scale variations of ionospheric delay can be described as featureless, scale invariant noise like signals Convenient Descriptor: Power Law Functions P k k ϕ ( ) v Indicates: Total power of signal Distribution of power over spatial scales Spectral Slope v: Steep smooth signal Shallow noisy signal Spectral slopes between ~2 and ~5 have been observed 8
9 Power Law Model of Small-Scale Ionospheric Signals On the convenience of power spectra: 1. Power Law models can be converted to covariance functions through cosine Fourier Transformation C ϕ ( r) cos( 2πfr ) Pϕ ( f ) = df 2. Spectral slopes can be converted to fractal dimensions D v = 7 2D Basis for signal analysis, statistical modeling, signal representation, and simulation 9
10 Predicting Ionospheric Power Spectra Representative power spectrum parameters are derived from global ionospheric scintillation model WBMOD (WideBand MODel) WBMOD capable to simulate statistical properties of scintillation effects on user-defined system based on solar activity and system parameters Power Spectra Prediction of single-regime power spectrum parameters for wide range of systems and ionospheric conditions E.J. Fremouw & J.A. Secan (1984): Modeling and Scientific Application of Scintillation Results, Radio Science, 19(3), pp
11 IP-STATS: A System for Describing and Simulating the Ionosphere Workflow of the Ionospheric Phase Statistics Simulator (IP-STATS) Power Spectra Signal Simulation Covariance Matrix Covariance Function 11 11
12 Potential Significance of IP-STATS Only dependent on quantifiable ionospheric and system parameters and no requirement for real observations Covariance Functions and Matrices: Can support realistic statistical models to be used in parameter estimation Phase Simulations: Sensitivity analysis of spaceborne radar systems Useful in System design analysis Selection of best suited radar system for an application 12
13 Simulating Ionospheric Conditions for a 10-Year Time Series of SAR Acquisitions over the North Slope of Alaska Test Site Data point every 46 days Real PALSAR orbit and acquisition parameters Statistical Ionospheric Descriptors Geophysical Input Parameters Sample Covariance Phase Simulation Function Matrix 13 13
14 Validation of IP-STATS in Polar Regions Real data processing: Faraday Rotation from Quad-Pol SAR Σ Signal Variance σ(φ) Covariance C(r) IP-STATS: Ionospheric phase statistics parameter from SAR system parameters, observation geometry, and solar parameters at acquisition time COMPARISON: Validation for Auroral Zone conditions 14 14
15 Validation of IP-STATS in Polar Regions Validation of Signal Variance σ(φ): At High Latitudes: Predicted and Measured Signal Variance Matches Well!! 15 15
16 Validation of IP-STATS in Polar Regions Validation of Covariance Function C(r) : Measured Covariance: Isotropic signal assumed Simulated Covariance: Derived from ϕ sim Orbit: 6305; Frame: 1330 Orbit: 6305; Frame: 1390 Problem: Isotropic signal assumed Most observed ionospheric signals are NOT isotropic At High Latitudes: Predicted and Measured Covariance Functions match reasonably well! 16 16
17 Anisotropy Model in IP-STATS Current approach extract information from WBMOD Anisotropy approximated by Correlation Ellipse : Shape: axial ratios a and b (length of axes of correlation ellipse relative to vertical layer thickness thin layer approximation is used) Orientation: angle δ relative to local ionospheric L-shell Examples: L-Shells a = 10; b = 1; δ = 0 Rod-like oriented roughly east-west a = 10; b = 10; δ = 0 Sheet-like CEOS 11, D.G. Singleton Fairbanks, (1970): AK Dependence of Satellite Scintillations F. on Meyer Zenith et al. Angle and Azimuth, Journal of Atmospheric 17 and Terrestrial Physics, 32, pp
18 Anisotropy Model in IP-STATS April 1, 2007: a = 3; b = 1; δ = 0 Rod-like oriented roughly east-west WBMOD Estimate Observed SAR Phase distortions on April 1,
19 Conclusions We have shown recent work: Advanced (combined) analytical correction methods show promise IP-STATS system models statistical properties of small scale ionospheric irregularities based on power spectra, covariance functions, and fractal dimensions First validations for Polar Regions show good performance of predicting variance and co-variance parameters Next steps: Combination of more than two detection methods Further validation and incorporation of anisotropy in statistical model Investigation of multi-scale power spectra for statistical model 19 19
