On the potential of empirical mode decomposition for RFI mitigation in microwave radiometry
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022-07-04)
Article
Open AccessRadio-frequency interference (RFI) is an increasing problem particularly for Earth observation using microwave radiometry. RFI has been observed, for example, at L-band by the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) soil moisture ... -
Parametric analysis of an L-band deployable offset reflector for CubeSats
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-06-15)
Article
Open AccessThanks to the advances in the miniaturization and improved power consumption efficiency of electronics, computers, cell phone technologies, etc., today’s spacecrafts and payloads are reducing their size and increasing their ... -
Numerical solver for vertical air motion estimation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessWe present preliminary research on a method to estimate Vertical Air Motion (VAM) at a particular height by comparing the measured rain-rate (RR) by a vertically-pointing S-band Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave (FMCW) ... -
On adaptive unscented Kalman filtering for floating Doppler wind-lidar motion correction: Effect of the number of lidar measurement heights
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessThis work studies the influence of the number of lidar measurement heights on the performance of the floating Doppler wind lidar motion-correction algorithm, recently published by the authors. The work is in the context ... -
Floating lidar assessment of atmospheric stability in the North Sea
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessIn this work, the 2D parametric-solver algorithm [1] used to assess atmospheric stability from floating Doppler wind lidar (FDWL) measurements is revisited. The algorithm performance is studied using data from IJmuiden ... -
Synergistic mixed-layer height retrieval method using microwave radiometer and lidar ceilometer observations
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper tackles synergistic mixed-layer height (MLH) estimation via a combination of microwave radiometer (MWR) and lidar ceilometer (LC)-based estimates. While MLH-MWR estimates rely on potential temperature retrievals, ... -

Article
Open AccessThis paper presents the estimation of the hygroscopic growth parameter of atmospheric aerosols retrieved with a multi-wavelength lidar, a micro-pulse lidar (MPL) and daily radiosoundings in the coastal region ofBarcelona, ... -
Design of a deployable helix antenna at L-Band for a 1-Unit CubeSat: from theoretical analysis to flight model results
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-05-01)
Article
Open AccessThe 3Cat-4 mission aims at demonstrating the capabilities of a CubeSat to perform Earth Observation (EO) by integrating a combined GNSS-R and Microwave Radiometer payload into a 1-Unit CubeSat. One of the greatest challenges ... -
In-cabin 120 GHz radar system for functional human breathing monitoring in a 3D scenario
(Íñigo Cuiñas Gómez, 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessDriving is one of the activities that takes a significant part of a person’s time, that is why monitoring vital signs is useful for the wellness of the occupants of the vehicle. One of the vital signs that provides more ... -

(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-05-20)
Article
Open AccessThe volcanic eruption of Cumbre Vieja (La Palma Island, Spain), started on 19 September 2021 and was declared terminated on 25 December 2021. A complete set of aerosol measurements were deployed around the volcano within ... -
Overview: On the transport and transformation of pollutants in the outflow of major population centres – observational data from the EMeRGe European intensive operational period in summer 2017
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2022-05-05)
Article
Open AccessMegacities and other major population centres (MPCs) worldwide are major sources of air pollution, both locally as well as downwind. The overall assessment and prediction of the impact of MPC pollution on tropospheric ... -
Architectures and synchronization techniques for distributed satellite systems: a survey
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022-04-22)
Article
Open AccessCohesive Distributed Satellite Systems (CDSSs) is a key enabling technology for the future of remote sensing and communication missions. However, they have to meet strict synchronization requirements before their use is ...
