A New Hyperspectral Microwave Radiometer for Atmospheric Sounding

In this paper, we develop a new hyper spectral micro-wave radiometer for atmospheric sounding which can especially improves temperature and moisture profiling accuracy in high water vapor and cloud liquid water content condition in comparison to conventional microwave radiometer. The hyper spectral microwave radiometer is a multi band radiometer base on the hyper spectral remote sensing technology which has one hundred channels in the 18-26 GHz and achieves a sensitivity of better than 0.2 K for 2 seconds of integration time, and the new receiver structure of the hyper spectral microwave radiometer provides the total measurement time of 100 channels less than 0.1 seconds.
