Title

On-Orbit Signal Processing Procedure For Determining Microwave Radiometer Non-Linearity

Keywords

Aquarius; Dicke microwave radiometer; MWR; receiver non-linearity

Abstract

This paper presents a novel signal processing approach used to diagnose non-linear (gain compression) operation of the MicroWave Radiometer (MWR) flown on the Aquarius/SAC-D satellite. This instrument was commissioned in September 2011, and on-orbit observations of blackbody earth emissions (brightness temperatures) have been evaluated over the pas t year. Results are presented, which suggest that the radiometer system is slightly non-linear, and the resulting receiver gain is a function of the observed radiometric brightness temperature. © 2013 IEEE.
