Objectives and Applications
|
1) A new ultra-compact and low-power technology for CubeSat-sized microwave multi-channel radiometers operating near 52-58 GHz (V-band), 175-191 (G-band), and 206-208 GHz,
2) A new GPS receiver and antenna array technology necessary for CubeSat tropospheric radio occultation sounding,
3) Test a new approach to radiometer calibration using concurrent GPS radio occultation (GPSRO) measurements.
