Title
PAU instrument aboard INTA MicroSat-1: Flight model tests
Abstract
This work presents the flight model of a PAU version to be flown in INTA's (Instituto Nacional de Técnicas Aeroespaciales, Spanish Aerospace Center) MicroSat-1 and the tests performed. PAU is a hybrid GNSS-Reflectometer / Microwave Radiometer developed to assess the impact of the sea state on the L-band brightness temperatures and on the GNSS-R observables (the Delay Doppler Maps or DDMs). The DDMs can be used in the future to perform the sea state correction in the L-band radiometric measurements, and therefore, improve the quality of the sea surface salinity retrievals. This work also describes a sensitivity test, a Doppler test, and a preliminary field experiment to evaluate the performance.
