Automatic calibration of channels frequency response in interferometric radiometers

The large field of view required in Earth observation interferometric radiometers does not enable the use of a variable delay to compensate for different transit times, as in radioastronomy. A technique is presented to characterise the influence of a channels frequency response automatically in the...

Sumario:The large field of view required in Earth observation interferometric radiometers does not enable the use of a variable delay to compensate for different transit times, as in radioastronomy. A technique is presented to characterise the influence of a channels frequency response automatically in the shape of the cross-correlation function.
