Multifrequency experimental radiometer with interference tracking for experiments over land and littoral: Meritxell

This work describes the design and implementation of a multiband radiometer covering the L, S, C, X, K, Ka and W bands. To add flexibility and simplify the design, a spectrum analyzer is used as IF stage, filter and power detector for all the radiometric measurement bands. Moreover, the instrument includes a thermographic camera operating in the Thermal InfraRed (IR) range (8-14 ¿m) and a multi-spectral camera with four spectral bands: Red, Green, Blue and Near InfraRed (NIR). The purposes of this research are the study of RFI detection and mitigation techniques, and its use to test data fusion techniques to take advantage of all the simultaneous measurements performed.
