Abstract

According to the calibration of radiometer spaceborne microwave payload desire, an S band conical corrugated antenna is studied. An actual antenna was manufactured after analysis and simulation. Performance of the antenna is measured in the radio anechoic chamber of Aerospace EMC center. Especially, the relationship between Emissivity and the brightness temperature of the applied microwave blackbody source is discussed and Emissivity measured. The consistency between the measurement data and the design outcome is very well.
