Microwave Radiometer Resolution Optimization Using Variable Observation Times
This manuscript first revises the performance of total power, Dicke-type and noise-injection microwave radiometers. Equations for the radiometric resolution are revised or derived, and their performance in terms of the radiometric resolution improvement with respect to the ideal total power radiometer resolution is evaluated. It is then shown that the radiometric resolution of noise-injection r...
متن کاملSimulating Passive Microwave Radiometer Designs Using Simulink
The authors have developed a simulation system for a passive microwave radiometer using MATLAB and SIMULINK from The MathWorks, Inc. The system comprises a high-level block diagram simulation for a modern instrument, the Scanning Low Frequency Microwave Radiometer, or SLFMR. The hardware prototype SLFMR, which was designed to map sea surface salinity, was implemented using the classic pulsed no...
متن کاملPolarimetric Microwave Radiometer Calibration
A polarimetric radiometer is a radiometer with the capability to measure the correlation information between vertically and horizontally polarized electric fields. To better understand and calibrate this type of radiometer, several research efforts have been undertaken. 1) All microwave radiometer measurements of brightness temperature (7B) include an additive noise component. The variance and ...
متن کاملGround-Based Microwave Radiometer Measurements
This particular site and time of year was chosen by ARM because it offers a high probability of clearsky, and also a wide range of integrated water vapor amounts. To supplement the routine observing capabilities during the WVIOP2000, a powerful array of tools for measuring water vapor was deployed at the SGP Central Facility area. A comprehensive suite of airborne in situ and ground-based remote
متن کاملValidation of QuikSCAT Radiometer Rain Rates using the TRMM Microwave Radiometer
The primary mission of the SeaWinds scatterometer on the QuikSCAT satellite is to infer surface wind vector from ocean backscatter measurements. Occasionally the backscatter measurements are contaminated by the presence of rain; therefore a reliable method of identifying rain is needed. Fortunately, the SeaWinds scatterometer simultaneously obtains active (scattering) and passive (emission) mea...
