Abstract

This paper presents an experimental examination of how unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airframe materials affect the electromagnetic characteristics of the airborne circularly polarized (CP) payload antenna. This study specifically investigates the received signal from the circularly polarized synthetic aperture radar (CP-SAR) antenna installed within the fuselage of the lapan surveillance UAV (LSU). In the airborne CP-SAR experiment, broadband CP microstrip subarray antennas were used along with LSU series airframe material composites comprising E-glass EW-185 and Carbon C522 Twill. The composite specimens were prepared to have the same size and thickness to minimize variability in the comparative analysis. The experimental study measures the transmission loss using S-parameters. At 5.3 GHz, the E-glass EW-185 fiber composite exhibits a material attenuation of -1.5 dB and a circular depolarization of 0.32 dB. The E-glass EW-185 fiber composite exhibits a material attenuation of -1.5 dB and a circular depolarization of 0.32 dB. In contrast, the Carbon C522 Twill fiber composite demonstrates a significantly higher material attenuation of -31.24 dB and a circular depolarization of 10.70 dB. Additionally, this paper examines the radiation pattern measurements of the CP-SAR antenna at various frequencies, providing a comprehensive analysis of the materials' impact on antenna performance.

Abstract

This work presents the implementation of back-projection algorithm for Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) signals on a low-cost, small, lightweight, and low-power consumption platform: Raspberry Pi. The algorithm is implemented with GNU Octave open-source software and the performance was tested on Raspberry Pi 3B and 4 hardware. For performance comparison, a single-threaded baseline implementation of back-projection is created and then modified to run on several threads on an available multicore processor. Executing a single-threaded code Raspberry PI is too slow for real-time imaging. However, the parallelized version shows computation improvement over the baseline version. We include a discussion of parallel implementation on a single Pi using Octave’s parallel package. This study contributes to the understanding of implementing SAR image processing on affordable single-board platforms with constrained computing resources.
