The polynomial and sinusoidal motion errors always exist in the unmanned aero vehicle (UAV) SAR due to the small size and low velocity of the platform, causing serious spectrum compressing/stretching and significant spectral replicas of the azimuth signal. The motion errors induce serious blurring of the SAR image and "ghost targets", and can hardly be precisely estimated by the conventional motion compensation (MOCO) method. In this paper, an improved MOCO method is proposed to estimate and eliminate the motion errors in the high resolution UAV SAR without high precision inertial navigation system (INS) data. The time domain range walk correction (RWC) operation in the coarse phase error estimation process of the proposed MOCO method is the key operation that ensures the estimation accuracy of the whole MOCO method. Finally, the validity of the improved MOCO method is verified by computer simulations and real UAV SAR data processing.
Most of electricity power in China comes from coal and hydropower. Already, China must import nearly half of its oil. Concerns about power capacity shortages and air pollution are all adding urgency and pressure to switch to alternative technologies and renewable energy. Among renewable energy sources, wind power and solar photovoltaic power are playing key roles in China, and are the fastest-growing power generation technologies. So this paper focuses on them and analyzes the corresponding technical properties of them. First of all, wind power transforms the kinetic energy from the wind into electricity by using wind turbines. Thus the basic components of wind turbines are described. Wind speed is an important factor to wind energy. So the features of wind speed are analyzed, and the wind energy is calculated. Second, the technical properties of solar photovoltaic power are discussed, including photovoltaic cells and modules, battery, inverter and photovoltaic controller. Photovoltaic energy is also analyzed and calculated. Third, the environmental impacts of wind power and solar photovoltaic power are presented. Finally, the relevant conclusions are drawn.
