Instrumentation for the Characterization of the Microwave Properties at 18, 35 and 94 GHz

Abstract

The Earth Resources Millimeter-Wave Radar (ERMIR) has been developed to characterize the microwave properties of Earth scenes at 18, 35, and 94 GHz. This instrument operates in either the continuous-wave or frequency-modulated continuous-wave modes and may be used to measure reflectivity, transmissivity, backscatter, and bistatic scattering. The development and construction of this instrument was guided by the need to acquire these parameters in situ and in remote locations.
