Abstract
This paper describes the receiver that has been designed for the PAU instrument [1]. The design´s main challenge has been the integration in a single 7 cm x 11 cm x 3 cm box of a receiving unit consisting of 4 channels (two per polarization) and merging two different sub-systems: an L-band radiometer (PAU-RAD) and a GNSS-Reflectometer (PAU-GNSS-R) [2].
