Abstract
This paper presents an advanced multi-frequency radiometer fro the GPM Br Fr mission. This mission will increase the capability of the Megha Tropiques mission. In addition to the MADRAS channels, this radiometer includes the 183 GHz H20 line and some sub-millimeter wave channels for ice cloud characterization (from 243 GHz up to 664 GHz).
