Abstract :
A 93 GHz conically scanning imaging radiometer is under construction at HUT. The system consists of a sensor unit to be mounted under a Bell Jetranger helicopter and a control electronics unit to be strapped on the helicopter´s back seat. The new features of the compact instrument are the ability to follow any conical scan path, the airborne liquid nitrogen cooled cold calibration as well as the flat panel color display featuring a real-time false colour image and video image window
