Abstract

Dual-channel Radiometers for Earth and Atmosphere Monitoring (DREAM) is the Korean spaceborne microwave radiometer. It is the main payload of Science and Technology SATlleite-2(STSAT-2) and will start the mission in December 2008. In this paper, we describe the radiometric calibration of DREAM. We also present the performance results of the system-level.
