Problems solved by technology

[0002] In the microwave and millimeter wave bands, in order to improve the sufficient spatial resolution of the satellite-mounted microwave radiometer to observe the earth, it has to use a large-aperture antenna to reduce the beam width of the antenna. The antenna aperture often reaches several meters or even tens of meters, and the satellite itself is difficult to carry. A blackbody of sufficient size to calibrate the whole radiometer can only rely on a small blackbody to calibrate the receiver at the rear end of the antenna at two points, and the deformation of the exposed main reflector and secondary reflector of the antenna cannot be accurately calibrated

Abstract

The invention relates to a microwave radiometer in-orbit calibration method based on antenna directional diagram real-time monitoring, and belongs to the technical field of the microwave radiometer calibration. The in-orbit calibration method comprises the following steps: step one, mounting laser ranging devices Z1 and Z2, and recording the distance between a laser reflecting material and each laser ranging device under various moments; step two, monitoring geometric equation of each laser ranging device, and recording the distance variation observed at the previous moment and the later moment in real time; step three, computing a new antenna directional diagram f to obtain atmospheric brightness temperature observation output II; and step four, repeating the real-time monitoring on the antenna directional diagram, and performing real-time calibration to obtain real atmospheric brightness temperature information. Through the method disclosed by the invention, the large-aperture antenna microwave radiometer calibration difficult can be solved, and the precision is high.
