RFI Problems and Solutions in Spaceborne Microwave Radiometers
- Author:
Jeffrey R. Piepmeie
The problem of RFI in spaceborne microwave radiometer data has been known since 1978 when it was first observed at 6.6 GHz with SMMR on SeaSat. RFI detection and mitigation strategies are needed to ensure a radiometer will not be damaged by extreme RFI (survivability),can make measurements during RFI events (operability), and lastly will enable the removal of detectable RFI (excisability).
