Descripción
Sumario:This paper is concerned with the radiometric sensitivity computation of an aperture synthesis interferometric radiometer devoted to Earth observation. The impact of system parameters and the use of simultaneous redundant measurements are analyzed. The interferometric radiometer uncertainty principle is presented; it quantifies the relationship between radiometric sensitivity and angular resolution.
