DOI: 10.1109/tgrs.2018.2800534
Abstract: For most Earth observation applications, passive microwave radiometry from the geostationary orbit requires prohibitively large apertures for conventional single-satellite platforms. This paper proposes a novel interferometric technique capable of synthesizing these apertures using satellite formation… read more here.
