Studies of 19.5 GHz sky radiometric temperature: Measurements and applications
[1] Using a single-frequency ground-based microwave radiometer with steerable horn antenna at frequency 19.5 GHz, we measure sky radiometric temperature over the Taiwan area during the period May 1997 to September 1999. Statistics indicate that for more than 80% of the time, in the absence of surface precipitation, the brightness temperature is above 27 K. Different elevation angle observations...
متن کاملARCADE 2 Measurement of the Absolute Sky Brightness at 3-90 GHz
The ARCADE 2 instrument has measured the absolute temperature of the sky at frequencies 3, 8, 10, 30, and 90 GHz, using an open-aperture cryogenic instrument observing at balloon altitudes with no emissive windows between the beam-forming optics and the sky. An external blackbody calibrator provides an in situ reference. Systematic errors were greatly reduced by using differential radiometers a...
متن کاملCavity Resonator Measurements at 90 Ghz
A small 4-cavity assembly designed to operate at W-band was built using OFE copper parts machined by wire and plunge EDM proocesses. The machined pieces were then diffusion bonded together. A cutaway section of one the cavity modules is shown in figure 1. Each of the four cavities approximates a one-half guided wavelength at 90 Ghz of reduced height WR 10 waveguide coupled to full height WR10 w...

متن کاملNight sky brightness at sites from DMSP-OLS satellite measurements
We apply the sky brightness modelling technique introduced and developed by Roy Garstang to high-resolution DMSP-OLS satellite measurements of upward artificial light flux and to GTOPO30 digital elevation data in order to predict the brightness distribution of the night sky at a given site in the primary astronomical photometric bands for a range of atmospheric aerosol contents. This method, ba...
