Critical technologies for atmospheric composition measurements by microwave limb sounding
Description
Limb sounding radiometers determine the concentrations of atmospheric constituents by measuring thermal emission from the atmospheric limb along a tangent path. A number of critical technologies needed to build a microwave limb sounding radiometer are identified. Design for all these components exist, but further development would improve performance at frequencies of a few hundred gigahertz and above. The most critical item is the mixer
