Progress in Spaceborne Passive Microwave Remote Sensing Technology and Its Application

Abstract

Spaceborne passive microwave sensor is a kind of remote sensing that uses high-sensitivity receivers to detect natural microwave radiation from scenes and targets. Passive microwave remote sensor also refers to microwave radiometer. Microwave radiometers have been used for remote sensing of the Earth from space for more than fifty years. At present, microwave radiometers have become the main
