The image mode 1g used to generate images of the earth surface with a high regolution using the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) prin= ciple.

The IDHT shall continuously interrogate the AMI which only shall respond, synchronous with the start of format, in case a complete data set is available. ‘As soon as the IDHT 4g switched on and configured for high rate tronsmission, zero frames shall by generated by the IDHT-DCU, as long no AMI nor IDHT General Header data are present. In case IDHT General Header but no AMI data sre available, only the AMI related portion of the format shall be filled with zero data.

Due to the synchronization of the AMI to the start of a format. only complete formats will be generated, either containing AMI data or zero data in the AMI related date field. In case of anomaly in the General Header update, which in nor— mal operation will occur every second, the old General Header imformation will be repeated until an update occurs. In this case the transmission of the old General Header will not be completed, but starting with the next subcommutation word fol~ lowing the update, the content of the new General Header will be transmitted. This also applies for the nominal updating every second. 4.4.2.2.2 Transmission Procedure For the transmission of the high rate data in the x-Band Link-1 QPSK channels, the IDHT-DCU shall split the 105 Mbps dato stream into two channels, I and Q, with 52.5 Mbps each. The I-chennel shall contain the even bits and the Q-channel shall contain the odd bits of each HR format frame. Both chan- nele shall be transmitted synchronously, i.e. bit 0 and bit 1, bit 2 and bit 3 ete. are transmitted within the same clock period (see also Appendix 4).be pa.

Details of the scrambling procedure and the PRN-sequene genera tion are given in Appendix 4. 4.4.2.3 Outline of Format Structure For the high rate data a fixed format structure shall be used. The format shall be sized such, that the allocated data field contains one complete range line including the necessary in- strument identification and auxiliary data. One high rate format (called format) consists of 29 frames of 256 bytes each. The general structure is shown in Pig. 4.4.2.3-1, Therefore one format consists of 29 x 256 = 7424 bytes = 59 392 bit.wananeunnwo 10 n 1 13 aty 5 6 v 18 19 20 2 22 23 a 2 26 FRAME 27 Frame 28 [S¥}s¥| Fig. 4.4.2.3-1: Doe ne: ERAS-ESA-GS-0002 fone: Date: 19.10.1900 Page Ho: 44-5 LS BYTE 15 16 235 236 258 MEASUREMENT DATA FIELD 56 160 BITS HR Format Structure The thick line masks the data area supplied by the AMIbe na: ERAS.ESA.GS.0002 ewe: 1.0 Calo: 19.10.1900 Page No 44-6 The data of one format are generated by mainly two diff sources - ‘he IDHT shall gonerate the synchronisation code, the IDHT Adentitication Code and the IDHT General Header ~ ‘The AMI shall generate the data contained in the auxiliary date field and the AMI Measurement Data field as shown in Pig. 4.4.2.3-1. 4.4.2.3.1 Prame structure The frame length is fixed for image OBRC and OGRC modes and consists of 256 bytes.

No raplica is therefore required for ground processing. The data generation in image OBRC mode is similar to that of image OGRC, but differs in following points: = No IF-replica pulse is sampled - quantisation of echo and noise semples - number of samples per sampling window = partition of the auxiliary data field w.r.t, auxiliary data and calibration pulse - no subcommutation of drift calipration pulse data is required ‘The representation of quantized data is as in OGRC a form of binary offset code and is given in Pig. 4.4.2.4.6-1a and b. This 1s also valid for a 6-bit code. Pig. 4.4.2,4.7-1 specifies the format timelining which mainly differs from that in image OGRC mode due to the fact, that the shorter sampling window for the calibration pulse detection generates much less calibration data and therefore no subcommu- tation is required. The last 92 formats contain f111 data in the Calibration data field.Doc no.
