More Information
Summary:L\X-band Full Polarization Aperture Synthesis Microwave Radiometer (FPASMR) is a 2-D aperture synthesis radiometer working at L and X-band with full polarization measurement for obtaining high precise measurement of sea surface salinity. FPASMR consists of dual Y-shaped arrays containing 23 L-band antennas per arm plus one in the center in L-band array and the same numbers of X-band antennas in X-band array. The demonstrator prototype of FPASMR has been developed and the validation has also been fulfilled.
