  • Abstract
    A tipping curve technique is widely used for the calibration of a ground-based radiometer for convenience. We make use of this method to calibrate a new W band radiometer recently in this paper. Based on the principle of a radiometer, the tipping curve calibration equation is derived. Some initial experiment results verify the validation of the method.
