Highly sensitive microwave radiometer-scatterometer for the remote sensing of the earth's surface
Abstract
The design of a high-sensitivity microwave radiometer/scatterometer with a degenerate parametric input amplifier is presented. Possible applications of the system are considered, including the remote sensing of the sea surface.
