Title
The Flat Target Transformation
Abstract
This paper describes a practical method to calibrate the microwave imaging radiometer with aperture synthesis (MIRAS) in orbit using external targets. Together with the in-orbit validation of the antenna patterns, the method ensures the generation of valid and calibrated visibilities from raw measurements with minimum impact from instrument errors, particularly antenna errors. It has been possible...
