Abstract :
This paper describes three generations of a millimeter wave radiometer operating at 94 and 183 GHz designed for airborne atmospheric measurements on-board NASA Convair 990 and RB-57 aircraft. Airborne measurements in 1977 and 1978 have substantiated theoretical conclusions on millimeter wave atmospheric properties.
