5. Discussion
- Case 1: An equivalent experiment of discontinuous mode is made by slightly moving the radar. The error compensation results are shown in Figure 11. Two corner reflectors are set to validate the effectiveness of the proposed model, as shown in Figure 12. The standard deviation of residual phases for both CRs is about 0.1 rad, which corresponds to 0.14 mm in Ku band, and can satisfy the requirement of sub-millimeter measurement.
- Case 2: The improved method is applied to process the measured data of a mountainous area. Comparisons of the first-order, second-order and proposed model are shown in Figure 15. There are a large number of PSs deviate from 0 rad with conventional models, and the best compensation performance could be achieved with the improved multi-parameter model. Figure 15f shows the compensated curves, which proves that the error phase components can be better compensated with the improved method.
