A Fast Storage Method for Drone-Borne Passive Microwave Radiation Measurement

Abstract

A drone-borne microwave radiometer requires a high sampling frequency and a continuous acquisition capability to detect and mitigate radio frequency interference (RFI), but existing methods cannot store such a large amount of data. In this paper, the dual polling write method (DPSM) for secure digital cards triggered by a timer under a multitask framework based on STM32 MCU is proposed to meet the requirements of continuous data storage. The card programming step was changed from a query waiting structure to a polling query flag bit structure, and time-sharing processing and parallel processing were used to simulate multithreading. The experimental results were as follows: (1) the time consumption of the whole storage procedure was reduced from 4000 microseconds to 200–400 microseconds; (2) the time consumption of the card programming step was reduced from 3000 microseconds in the first block and 1000 microseconds in the second and subsequent blocks to 17–174 microseconds and 18–71 microseconds, respectively, compared with the existing method; (3) the delay in the whole sampling cycle was reduced from 3942 microseconds to 0 microseconds. The results of this paper can meet the data storage requirements of a drone-borne microwave radiometer and be applied to the high-speed storage of other devices.

Design and implementation of a Li River water quality monitoring and analysis system based on outlier data analysis

“…It was discovered that most groundwater samples were unsuitable for irrigation due to conductivity concentration levels that exceeded drinking water quality regulations. Subsequently, microcontrollers combined with algorithms [21][22][23][24] enables the implementation of data acquisition, analysis, prediction, management, and classification.…”
