Abstract

A general platform for millimeter wave synthetic aperture radiometers is introduced in this paper. The platform consists of hardware and simulation software, and has a flexible and open structure. Simulation and experiment results show the platform is suitable for simulation of synthetic aperture radiometer performance, algorithm performance, error influence on radiometer performance, and calibration performance. The platform can be used for radiometry simulation and design of synthetic aperture radiometers.
