Dual polarization millimeter-wave detector for millimeter-wave remote sensing imaging

  • 摘要: 针对多极化毫米波遥感成像重大需求,报道了一种高集成度双极化毫米波探测器。探测器采用固态电子学方案,通过喇叭天线接收毫米波信号,利用正交模耦合器进行极化信号分离,采用两级低噪放芯片放大信号,通过肖特基二极管实现功率检测。每支探测器集成两路接收通道,每个接收通道可同时探测水平与竖直两个极化方向信号。经测量,探测器探测频段为W波段(75~110 GHz),平均等效噪声温差达到0.3 K(@10 ms),尺寸不足155 mm×15 mm×20 mm,质量<0.3 kg。利用该探测器实现城市环境双极化毫米波遥感成像,成像结果表明,相比于单极化遥感成像,双极化遥感成像可以获得更多极化信息,可对城市环境下常见物品进行突出显示,这有助于今后进行自动物品识别、轮廓提取与远程物质成分识别。

     

    Abstract: To meet the great demand of multi polarization millimeter-wave remote sensing imaging, a highly integrated dual polarization millimeter-wave detector is reported. The detector adopts the solid-state electronics scheme. A horn antenna is used to collect the millimeter-wave radiation signal. An ortho-mode transducer structure (OMT) is utilized to orthogonal polarization states of the incident signal into the vertical and horizontal polarization channels. Dual polarization signal power detection is realized by Schottky diode detector after two stage low noise amplifier. The detector, which shows a high level of integration, has two same channels while each channel can receive two orthogonal polarization states of the incident millimeter-wave radiation simultaneously. The measurement results display that the detection band is W-band (75-110 GHz), the average Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference(NETD) reaches 0.3 K(@10 ms), the detector’s size is less than 155 mm×15 mm×20 mm, and the detector’s weight is less than 0.3 kg. Based on the dual polarization detector, an outdoor area in the city has been imaged and various polarization parameter images are generated to analyze the polarization characteristics. The results show that, compared with single polarization remote sensing, dual polarization remote sensing can obtain more polarization information, common objects in urban environment can be highlighted, which is helpful for automatic object recognition, contour extraction in the future, and remote material component recognition.
