基于曲率和的主动声呐干涉条纹特征表征方法

干涉条纹特征是主动声呐目标识别所依据的重要特征之一。在浅水域环境中,声波能量传播特性较为复杂,信号会经过发射源到目标以及目标到接收器这2条不同的路径,目标的散射特性在声波的入射模式和散射模式之间相互作用,使得主动声呐干涉条纹呈现弯曲的结构。为对干涉条纹特征进行表征,提出一种基于曲率和的声呐特征提取方法。根据浅海声场主动声呐频率-距离干涉条纹图得到一段区间内的干涉条纹曲线散点曲率值,利用曲率求和的方法刻画条纹的弯曲程度,进而表征这一区间内的条纹特征。在理想波导环境下计算刚性球体目标在不同频率段下的曲率特征,通过统计平均值的方式得到平均曲率和为0.6左右,从特征表征结果可以看出,曲率和可通过统计离散点曲率强度描述干涉条纹特征,且在同一环境条件下,发射频率越大时曲率和强度越小。根据实测数据进行计算得到曲率和为0.512,实验与理论结果较为吻合,表明通过该方法可以获取主动声呐干涉条纹特征,进而实现目标识别和探测。

Signal losses in diffusion preparation: Comparison between spin-echo, stimulated echo and SEASON

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy commonly apply a spin-echo or stimulated echo preparation including sensitizing field gradients. The article reports on a systematic numerical approach to an optimum diffusion preparation considering undesired signal losses caused by relaxation. A large range of possible applications on whole-body units and animal scanners is covered. Instructions for an optimized type and timing of the diffusion preparation are provided for the readership, based on the desired diffusion weighting (b-value), the available maximum field gradient amplitudes, the RF pulse durations and gradient ramp times, and the relaxation characteristics of the specimen (or tissue) of interest. In addition, a new type of diffusion preparation named SEASON (simultaneous Spin-Echo And Stimulated echO preparatioN) is introduced and compared with spin-echo and stimulated echo diffusion preparation. It is demonstrated that spin-echo preparation is superior to stimulated echo preparation in all cases with T₂ ≈ T₁ and in all cases with relatively low diffusion weighting resulting in short duration of diffusion sensitizing gradients δ « T₂. For tissues with T₂ « T₁ (as musculature or red bone marrow) stimulated echo preparation becomes superior to spin-echo preparation for high ratios b/A² (b-value indicates diffusion weighting,A is the maximum gradient amplitude). The new SEASON technique allows a higher yield in signal intensity compared to spin-echo or stimulated echo preparations in clinically relevant cases. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Soil moisture estimation over vegetated terrains using multitemporal remote sensing data

A new method for retrieving soil moisture content over vegetated fields, employing multitemporal radar and optical images, is presented. It is based on the integration of the temporal series of radar data within an inversion scheme and on the correction of the vegetation effects. The retrieval algorithm uses the Bayesian maximum posterior probability and assumes the existence of a relation among the soil conditions at the different times of the series. The correction of the vegetation effects models the variation, with respect to the initial time of the series, of the component of the backscattering coefficient due to the soil characteristics as function of the variations of the measured backscattering coefficient and of the biomass. The method is tested on the data acquired throughout the SMEX02 experiment. The results show that measured and estimated soil moistures are fairly well correlated and that the performances of multitemporal retrieval algorithm are better than those obtained by employing one radar acquisition, especially in terms of capability to detect soil moisture changes. Although the approach to correct the vegetation effects on radar observations needs to be further assessed on different sets of data, this finding demonstrates that the proposed method has a potential to improve the quality of the soil moisture retrievals.

A dual‐polarized cylindrical conformal array antenna suitable for unmanned aerial vehicles

A dual‐polarized X‐band conformal array antenna is presented for unmanned aerial vehicles with polarimetric radars/sensors. Starting from the planar structure, the array antenna consisted of sixteen 2 × 2 subarrays is conformal to the cylinders with various curvature radii to fit the payload box of the airborne vehicle. The return losses are almost constant even if the curvature radius changes. Measured radiation patterns are compared with various curvatures at the same frequencies. The array can be easily placed on the aircraft payload or fuselage due to its ultra thin thickness, ultra lightweight, and conformal structure, which has potential airborne applications in polarimetric radar surveillance, remote sensing, and wireless communications. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
