Development of a quasi-optics system for the MetOp-SG MWS 183/229 GHz channels

该项目解决了拟MetOp-SG MWS仪器的183/229 GHz试验板接收器系统的准光学设计、分析和测试。这项工作开发了新的分析技术，微波辐射计系统使用非顺序射线跟踪技术和波束传播合成，邀请改进辐射计的设计和性能。此外，新的仪器扫描MWS的要求进行审查和扭矩和动量补偿的机会investigated.This项目汇集了英国航天工业，毫米波研究，开发和制造的专家，以解决在MetOp-SG微波测深仪仪器的设计挑战。

This project addresses the Quasi-Optical design, analysis and test of a 183/229 GHz breadboard receiver system for the proposed MetOp-SG MWS instrument. The work develops new analysis techniques for microwave radiometer systems using non-sequential ray tracing techniques and Beam Propagation Synthesis, inviting improved radiometer design and performance. In addition, the new instrument scan requirements for MWS are reviewed and the opportunities for torque and momentum compensation investigated.This project draws together experts in the UK Space Industry, mm-wave research, development and Manufacturing to address the design challenges in the MetOp-SG Microwave Sounder Instrument.
