      Article
      Accés obert
      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 ...
    • The processing of hexagonally sampled signals with standard rectangular techniques: application to 2d large aperture synthesis interferometric radiometers 

      Camps Carmona, Adriano José; Bará Temes, Francisco Javier; Corbella Sanahuja, Ignasi; Torres Torres, Francisco (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1997-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      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 1 K and a revisit ...
