      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      Accurate geolocation of SMOS RFI sources is very important for effectively switching-off the illegal emitter in the protected L-band. We present a novel approach for the geolocation of SMOS RFI sources, based on the Direction ...
    • An imaging algorithm for synthetic aperture interferometric radiometers with built-in RFI mitigation 

      Camps Carmona, Adriano José; Hyuk, Park; González Gambau, Veronica (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is probably one of the most important limiting factors in the accuracy of the brightness temperatures measured by microwave radiometers. Due to the proximity of the 'protected' L-band ...
    • High angular resolution RFI localization in synthetic aperture interferometric radiometers using direction-of-arrival estimation 

      Hyuk, Park; González Gambau, Veronica; Camps Carmona, Adriano José (2015-01-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Radio-frequency interference (RFI) seriously affects the retrieval of geophysical parameters from the measurements of microwave radiometers. An accurate geolocation of the RFI is crucial to effectively switch off illegal ...
    • Inter-comparison of SMOS and aquarius brightness temperatures at L-band over selected targets 

      Pablos Hernández, Miriam; Piles Guillem, Maria; González Gambau, Veronica; Vall-Llossera Ferran, Mercedes Magdalena; Camps Carmona, Adriano José (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)
