The correlation of visibility noise and its impact on the radiometric resolution of an aperture synthesis radiometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The correlation between the visibility samples’ noise of an aperture synthesis radiometer are required for the computation of the recovered temperature noise of a given pixel and of the improvement introduced by baseline redundance. A general expression for this correlation and noise examples for a linear array are presented.

Sampling Clock Imperfection Analysis for Synthetic Aperture Interferometric Radiometer
In this paper, a nontrivial sampling clock imperfection analysis is presented for Synthetic Aperture Interferometric Radiometers (SAIR). Sampling clock determines the edges at which analog radiometric demodulated signal are digitized for digital correlation, and its jitter and skew could lead to SAIR performance degradations. Firstly, the jitter and skew contributions to visibility uncertainty ...

In Earth observation programs there is a need of passive low frequency (L-band) measurements to monitor soil moisture and ocean salinity with high spatial resolution 10–20 Km, a radiometric resolution of 1K and a revisit time of 1–3 days [1]. Compared to total power radiometers aperture synthesis interferometric radiometers are technologically attractive because of their reduced mass and hardwa...
متن کاملCorrection to "A Two-Dimensional Doppler Radiometer for Earth Observation"
Compared to synthetic aperture radars (SARs), the angular resolution of microwave radiometers is quite poor. Traditionally, it has been limited by the physical size of the antenna. However, the angular resolution can be improved by means of aperture synthesis interferometric techniques. A narrow beam is synthesized during the image formation processing of the cross-correlations measured at zero...

متن کاملA spaceborne synthetic aperture radiometer simulated by the TUD demonstration model
The TUD Synthetic Aperture Radiometer demonstration model consists of a 2-channel X-band correlation radiometer with two horn antennas and an antenna mounting structure enabling the horns to be mounted in relevant positions within a certain aperture. The cross correlation of the signals from the 2 antennas produces a sample of the visibility function, which is the Fourier transform of the brigh...
