This paper reviews the relative calibration of an interferometric radiometer taking into account the experimental results of the first batch of receivers developed in the frame of the European Space Agency's Soil Moisture ...

In this work, a new methodology is proposed in order to derive vertical total electron content (VTEC) maps from the radiometric measurements of the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission as an alternative approach ...

A genetic algorithm (GA) has been developed for designing single-shaped reflector antennas for the synthesis of shaped contour beams. The graphical processing technique is used in order to obtain the antenna radiation ...

An end-to-end simulator for the assessment of the performances of a spaceborne interferometric radiometer measuring the brightness temperature of Earth’s surface (ground and sea) is presented. The tool covers the complete ...
