摘要
In this paper, the full focused processing in the frequency domain for high Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) radar altimeter science data is proposed. Considering a radar altimeter as a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instrument operating in near nadir-looking geometry, a SAR frequency-domain focusing algorithm, namely Range-Doppler algorithm, is analyzed. Then a properly modified processor for radar altimeters is described and implemented. Simulation set-up using parameters from two missions (CryoSat and Sentinel-6) and a preliminary result from in-orbit CryoSat data con firm the effectiveness of the full focused processing in the frequency domain. The proposed approach, compared to the one formerly proposed in literature [1], is less complex and morecomputationally efficient.
