MODULAR DESIGN OF GIMS (GEOSTATIONARY INTERFEROMETRIC MICROWAVE SOUNDER) BASED ON CUSTOMIZED MMIC AND ASIC| Session Chairs: | Ji Wu, Steven Reising, Albin Gasiewski |
The progress in observation and data inversion techniques, as well as transceiver technology from radio frequencies to the higher microwave frequencies, has generated increased interest in using the millimeter-wave spectrum (i.e., frequencies above 30 GHz) for remote sensing. This session focuses on new developments in millimeter-wave propagation models and experiments, including the effects of reflection, refraction, emission and scintillation, along with their application in passive and active remote sensing. Passive systems for remote sensing include atmospheric sounders, surface imagers and path-dependent transmissometers that can be realized by using either real aperture antennas, aperture synthesis or interferometers. Active systems for remote sensing include monostatic, bistatic, and multistatic radars, as well as, all forms of phased-, and digitally beamformed arrays and synthetic aperture systems. Papers are welcomed that focus on one or more of the above areas as applied to remote sensing of the environment.
