Abstract :
The Conical-scanning Microwave Imager/Sounder (CMIS) currently under development by the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Integrated Program Office utilizes segments of microwave spectrum from ∼6 GHz to above 190 GHz. During the development and optimization of the current CMIS baseline design, the Earth Exploration Satellite Service (EESS) (Passive) frequency allocations, and estimates of the expected RF environment played a substantial role in determining channelization. This will allow CMIS performance requirements to be met while minimizing the potential for radio frequency interference occurrences to CMIS.
