A New Linearly Polarized Microwave Radiometer Calibration Source

Abstract:

This paper introduces a calibration device for microwave (millimeter and submillimeter) radiometer. The device can provide the microwave radiometer continuously variable linearly polarized noise temperature. The paper also introduces a real-time calibration method to achieve the microwave radiometer calibration, and the test of microwave radiometer sensitivity and linearity.
