Influence of the ionospheric plasma density fluctuations on the subsurface sounding of the Martian soil by a synthetic aperture radar

Abstract: UDC 535.3We consider the problem of subsurface sounding of the planetary interior with an ultrawideband synthetic aperture radar through the ionosphere containing random density fluctuations. Numerical simulation is performed for a variety of typical parameters of the medium and the instrument. The impact of the ionospheric fluctuations on the sounding is estimated. The question of optimal choice of the synthetic aperture length is addressed.

“…The compressed radar pulse in time domain can then be evaluated by common matched filtration technique. We used the same pulse compression procedure as in our previous studies, where this procedure is described in detail by Ilyushin, (, , ). Systematic phase shift, introduced by the ionosphere, can be introduced separately as an independent exponential factor at the signal compression stage.…”

“…[5] For communication and navigation systems, single-frequency users may receive a positioning error of meters to ten meters. Other than GNSS, the operation of radio detection and ranging systems [6][7][8][9] and very-longbaseline-interferometry (VLBI) [10] also require ionospheric information to reduce the impact of the ionosphere.…”
