Design, Implementation and Characterization of Cavity for Absolute Radiometer
Absolute radiometers are based on electrical substitution radiometers, which compare optical and electrical power. The same physical principle applies to standard reference detectors operating at cryogenic temperatures and room temperature radiometers ...

Planck-LFI: Design and Performance of the 4 Kelvin Reference Load Unit [PDF]
The LFI radiometers use a pseudo-correlation design where the signal from the sky is continuously compared with a stable reference signal, provided by a cryogenic reference load system.

The effect of low temperatures on the sensitivity of radiometers [PDF]
The behavior of radiometers at low temperatures, besides being of some interest to the theoretical physicist,(2) is of considerable importance to one desiring to carry radiant energy measurements to an extreme limit.

Assessment of CCMP in Capturing High Winds with Respect to Individual Satellite Datasets
High-wind structures were identified in the Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform (CCMP) ocean wind vector reanalysis for comparison with winds measured by satellite radiometers, scatterometers, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) instruments from February to ...

Improved constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity for the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe 5-yr data [PDF]
We present new constraints on the non-linear coupling parameter fnl with the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data. We use an updated method based on the spherical Mexican hat wavelet (SMHW) which provides improved constraints on the fnl ...

Offset balancing in pseudo-correlation radiometers for CMB measurements
Radiometeric CMB measurements need to be highly stable and this stability is best obtained with differential receivers. The residual 1/f noise in the differential output is strongly dependent on the radiometer input offset which can be cancelled using ...
