description This PhD dissertation is focused on the use of the opportunity signals from the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), that scatter-off the Earth's surface for perform ocean mesoscale altimetry (the so called GNSS-R technique). Specially, this work analyses the capabilities of the interferometric approach (iGNSS-R) originally proposed for PARIS IoD (which will be implemented on GEROS-ISS), comparing its performance with the one obtained by the conventional approach (cGNSS-R). The main content of this PhD dissertation includes: A comprehensive analysis of the GNSS-R cross-correlation waveform properties, analyzing the impact that the observation geometry and system parameters have on the GNSS-R observables, where parameters such as the receiver bandwidth, observation geometry, sea state, and thermal and speckle noises are analyzed. A detailed derivation of the statistics for both the voltage and power cross-correlations (for both conventional and interferometric processing cases) validated all of them with both simulated and real data from ground-based airborne, and spaceborne experiments. Study of the performance model of the altimetry precision based on the Cramer-Rao Bound statistical estimator theory. This study has been carried out for a wide variety of parameters concerning the overall observation system, including instrument, on-board and on-ground processing aspects, for both the conventional and interferometric GNSS-R techniques. Analysis of experimental data from the Typhoon Investigation using GNSS-R Interferometric Signals (TIGRIS) experiment. This analysis has been used to determine and establish the boundaries and capabilities of GNSS-R towards remote sensing of typhoons. In this part, aspects such as the mitigation of the direct cross-talk contamination, GNSS multipath contamination, and preliminary results (including a novel observable) are presented.

Es lo que se conoce como GNSS-R (Global Navigation Satellite Systems-Reflectometry). Especialmente este trabajo analiza las principales propiedades del método interferométrico (iGNSS-R) inicialmente propuesto para PARIS-IoD, y que será implementado en GEROS-ISS. comparándolo con el método convencional (cGNSS-R). A continuación se enumeran los principales puntos abordados en esta tesis doctoral: Se ha realizado un exhaustivo y detallado análisis de las propiedades de las waveforms, evaluando la influencia de la geometría (altitud, ángulo de incidencia, estado del mar, etc), y de los principales parámetros a nivel de instrumento sobre las waveforms. Así mismo se ha analizado el impacto del ancho de banda del receptor, y del ruido térmico y speckle. Por otra parte, se han derivado las estadísticas (matrices de covarianzas) tanto para las waveforms complejas, como para las waveforms de potencia, considerando el método convencional, y el interferométrico. Las diferentes estadísticas o matrices de covarianzas han sido validadas usando datos reales procedentes de diferentes experimentos y datos simulados, para diferentes escenarios (.espacio, aerotransportado, ground-base). Dichas matrices de covarianza, posteriormente han sido usadas para calcular la precisión altimétrica, basada en el uso de estimadores estadísticos, como es el Cramer-Rad Bound. Dicho estudio ha sido realizado considerando un amplio número de parámetros, tanto para el método convencional como para el interferométrico, comparando el performance de ambas técnicas, y realizando una primera estimación de la precisión altimétrica que se obtendría para una misión espacial como PARIS-IoD. Por último se han analizado datos de la campaña experimental TIGRIS (Typhoon Investigation using GNSS-R Interferometric Signal). con dicho analisis se han estudio la capacidad de la técnica GNSS-R para monitorizar y detectar huracanes. Este análisis incluye aspectos como la mitigación de la contaminación procendente de la señal directa, y del multipath ocasionado por las diferentes señales GNSS. Al mismo tiempo durante este análisis un nuevo observable se ha propuesto.Universitat Politècnica de CatalunyaCamps Carmona, Adriano José20152015-07-1420152015-11-02doctoral thesishttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_db06VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesisapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2117/95764https://dx.doi.org/10.5821/dissertation-2117-95764reponame:UPCommons.
