    • A pre-correlation RFI mitigation algorithm for L-band interferometric radiometers 

      Querol Borràs, Jorge; Camps Carmona, Adriano José; Pérez Portero, Adrián; Oliva, Roger; Onrubia Ibáñez, Raul; Ramirez Martinez, Juan Ignacio; Zurita Campos, Alberto M.; Suess, Martin; Martín Neira, Manuel (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is a major concern for both real and synthetic aperture radiometers. After the lessons learnt from SMOS, ESA is preparing the next generation of L-band interferometric radiometers with ...

    • Benefits of applying nodal sampling to SMOS data over semi-enclosed seas and strongly RFI-contaminated regions 

      González Gambau, Verónica; Olmedo, Estrella; Martinez, J.; Turiel, Antonio; Corbella Sanahuja, Ignasi; Oliva, Roger; Martín Neira, Manuel (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018)
      Conference report

      Radio Frequency Interferences (RFI) are still an important source of contamination in SMOS data. The application of nodal sampling (NS) to brightness temperature images helps to mitigate the degradation that RFIs produce ...

    • Impact of amplitude calibration errors on SMOS global images 

      Durán Martínez, Israel; Corbella Sanahuja, Ignasi; Torres Torres, Francisco; Duffo Ubeda, Núria; Oliva, Roger; Martín Neira, Manuel (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Some of the artifacts observed in SMOS brightness temperature images are originated in an inconsistency between correlation and antenna temperature calibration errors, which produces a multiplicative bias that scales with ...

    • Impact of antenna tuning on SMOS correlation loss 

      Torres Torres, Francisco; Durán Martínez, Israel; Corbella Sanahuja, Ignasi; Duffo Ubeda, Núria; Closa, Josep; Oliva, Roger; Martín-Neira, Manuel (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016)

      The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission by the European Space Agency (ESA) was launched in 2009 [1]. Since then, it has produced a continuous stream of valuable geophysical data over land, ice and ocean [2] ...

    • RFI detection and mitigation for advanced correlators in interferometric radiometers 

      Pérez Portero, Adrián; Querol Borràs, Jorge; Camps Carmona, Adriano José; Martín Neira, Manuel; Suess, Martin; Ramirez, Juan Ignacio; Zurita Campos, Alberto M.; Closa Soteras, Josep; Oliva, Roger; Onrubia Ibáñez, Raul (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-09-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      This work presents the first RFI detection and mitigation algorithm for the interferometric radiometers that will be implemented in its correlator unit. The algorithm operates in the time and frequency domains, applying ...
