基于射线描迹法微分形式的大气折射误差修正方法研究

大气折射误差是影响各类无线电系统同步、跟踪、导航、定位精度的一个主要误差源。射线描迹法利用几何光学原理可以实现对该误差的精确修正。针对传统射线描迹法无法处理异常大气折射误差修正的问题，该文推导了射线描迹法的微分形式，并基于此提出适用于任意大气的折射误差修正方法。选取某地面测控站对目标的跟踪数据，验证了所提方法的可行性。此外，利用该方法对比分析了蒸发波导环境和标准大气环境对大气折射误差的影响。结果表明:完全陷获在蒸发波导内部的电波引入的大气折射误差是最显著的。所提方法为提高无线电系统在任意大气环境下的测量精度提供一种新的技术支持。

Atmosphere Refractive Error Correction Method Based on Ray Tracing Differential Form

Atmosphere refraction error is a main error factor to affect synchronization accuracy, tracing accuracy, navigation accuracy and positioning accuracy for various radio systems. On the basis of geometrical optics, the ray tracing method can precisely make this error correction. For the problem that traditional ray tracing method can not deal with the abnormal atmosphere, ray tracing differential form is derived and then a correction method suitable for arbitrary atmosphere is proposed. The tracing data from ground station are taken to test this method. In addition, the refractive error in evaporation duct is compared with that in standard atmosphere. The results show that the refractive error of radio wave trapped entirely in the duct has the biggest influence. The proposed method provides technique support for improving the measurement precision of radio system in arbitrary atmosphere.
