Written by leading experts in industry and academia, this authoritative resource offers practitioners a solid understanding of radiometer systems and explains how to design a system based on given specifications, taking into account both technical aspects and geophysical realities. This second edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the numerous advances that have been made in the field since the original edition was published in 1989. New material covered includes two of today's hottest microwave radiometry topics--"polarimetric measurements and aperture synthesis. 410 0$aArtech House remote sensing library. 606 $aRadiometers$xDesign and construction 606 $aMicrowave detectors 615 0$aRadiometers$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aMicrowave detectors. 676 $a621.381/3 700 $aSkou$b Niels$f1947-$0719334 701 $aLe Vine$b D.
