摘要/Abstract

摘要：

星载iGNSS-R技术在高时空分辨率海面变化观测方面具有良好应用前景，但其相关研究和性能评估较为缺乏。本文首先系统分析了多模多频信号在不同调制方式下的波形特性，以及波形质量与环境参数的关联性，量化了多模多频信号的信噪比差异。然后采用DER和HALF波形重跟踪方法提取镜面反射延迟，利用双延迟差分测高模型计算海面高度，进而评估iGNSS-R技术多模多频信号测高和测距性能。在此基础上，对COATS任务的全球平均测高性能进行了初步分析。结果表明：BDS B1信号和GPS L1/L5信号的信噪比和归一化信噪比均为较高的量级，风速对信噪比的抑制效应在0~10 m/s区间最为显著，而入射角增大会削弱高频信号（L1/B1/E1）和GPS L5信号的信噪比。GPS L1（STD 1.46 m）、BDS B1（1.38 m）、Galileo E1（1.33 m）精度显著优于对应低频信号（L5：1.84 m；B2：1.84 m；E5：1.74 m）；通过测距残差转换后的信噪比-精度关联模型表明，中低信噪比区间测距精度随SNR提升显著，高信噪比区间则缓慢提升直至趋近性能瓶颈（1.4~1.5 m）；网格化反演结果与DTU21模型的相关系数为99.93%（RMSE 1.156 m）；重访次数-精度曲线表明，当重访超2500次时渐进精度为0.60 m。

Abstract:

Spaceborne iGNSS-R technology demonstrates promising potential for high spatiotemporal-resolution sea surface change observation, yet related research and performance evaluation remain insufficient. This paper first systematically analyzes waveform characteristics of multi-constellation multi-frequency signals under different modulation schemes, investigates the correlation between waveform quality and environmental parameters, and quantifies signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) variations across different signals. Subsequently, the DER and HALF waveform retracking methods are employed to extract specular reflection delays, while a double delay differential altimetry model calculates sea surface height (SSH), enabling comprehensive evaluation of multi-constellation multi-frequency signal performance in altimetry and ranging. Furthermore, preliminary analysis is conducted on the global average altimetric performance for the COATS mission. Results indicate: BDS B1 and GPS L1/L5 signals exhibit superior SNR and normalized SNR magnitudes；wind speed demonstrates most significant SNR suppression effect within 0~10 m/s range, while increasing incidence angle degrades SNR for high-frequency signals (L1/B1/E1) and GPS L5. GPS L1 (STD 1.46 m), BDS B1 (1.38 m), and Galileo E1 (1.33 m) show significantly better precision compared with corresponding low-frequency signals (L5: 1.84 m, B2: 1.84 m, E5: 1.74 m). The SNR-precision correlation model derived from ranging residual conversion reveals that ranging accuracy improves markedly with SNR enhancement in medium-low SNR regions, while approaching performance bottleneck (1.4~1.5 m) gradually in high SNR regions. Gridded inversion results achieve 99.93%correlation coefficient with DTU 21 model (RMSE 1.156 m). The revisit count-accuracy curve indicates an asymptotic accuracy of 0.60 m when exceeding 2500 revisits.
