A Miniaturized Spectrometer Radiometer Based on MMIC Technology for Tropospheric Water Vapor Profiling

Abstract: Abstract-The fabrication of a miniaturized ground-based water vapor profiling radiometer demonstrates the capability of monolithic microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuit technology to reduce the mass and volume of microwave remote sensing instrumentation and to reduce substantially the necessary operational power consumption and size of the radiofrequency and intermediate-frequency sections. Since those sections comprise much of the mass and volume of current microwave receivers, the fabrication of t… Show more

“…1) side by side with the commercially available Radiometrics W VP-1500 water vapor and liquid profiler radiometer. The CMR-H measures sky brightness temperatures simultaneously at four frequencies that are chosen for maximum water vapor information content (i.e., 22.12,22.67,23.25, and 24.50 GHz;Iturbide-Sanchez et al 2007). The CMR-H is the first microwave radiometer specifically designed to operate as a node in a coordinated ground-based network for atmospheric observations.…”

“…In addition to these instruments, microwave radiometers, both ground-based and airborne, operating in the 20-60 and 166-190 GHz ranges are used for the retrieval of water vapor, temperature and liquid water profiles. Ground-based microwave radiometers have been designed, fabricated and used to sense water vapor and temperature profiles from ground to 10 km altitude (Iturbide-Sanchez et al, 2007;Solheim, et al, 1998). Satellite-based instruments like Advanced Microwave Sounding Units (AMSU-A and B) on board NOAA-15 (Susskind et al, 2011;Rosenkranz, 2001) (Rao, et al, 2013) have been used to retrieve humidity and temperature profiles in addition to a range of other parameters.…”
