Abstract
This paper presents an efficient procedure based on 2-D convolutions to obtain delay-Doppler maps (DDMs) of Global Navigation Satellite Signals reflected (GNSS-R) over the sea surface and collected by a spaceborne receiver. Two DDM-derived observables (area and volume) are proposed to link the sea-state-induced brightness temperature to the measured normalized DDM. Finally, the requirements to use Global Positioning System reflectometry to accurately correct for the sea state impact on the L-band brightness temperature (quantization levels, decimation, truncation, and noise impact) are analyzed in view of its implementation in the Passive Advanced Unit instrument of the Spanish Earth Observation Satellite (SeoSAT/INGENIO) project.
