The calibration of aperture synthesis radiometers (ASRs) by the standard method of noise injection would seriously increase hardware requirements and system complexity. To reduce the network of noise injection, redundant space calibration (RSC) method has been considered. However the number of error phases is larger than the number of independent equations. In this paper, an external calibration method...
The on-board calibration of aperture synthesis radiometers (ASRs) with large arrays by the standard method of noise injection would seriously increase hardware requirements and system complexity. To avoid the use of noise injection, an external phase calibration method with antenna array rotation is proposed in this letter, which uses the observation scene as reference without needing for an external...
The calibration of a microwave Aperture Synthesis Radiometer (ASR) is necessary for high-quality passive microwave imaging. Existing external calibration methods have difficulties for calibration of ASRs with large arrays. In this paper, a data model of correlation matrix containing phase and amplitude errors is established. Based on the correlation matrix, a solar calibration method for ASR is proposed...
Aperture synthesis technique is a feasible means to provide high spatial resolution at low frequencies. But due to the impacts of system errors, time varying scenes, and different inversion algorithms, analytic studies of system performances are difficult or impossible, and the need of numerical simulation appears. In this paper, a signal-level simulator is presented. It covers brightness temperature...
