Abstract :
System study and development of an L-band one-dimensional synthetic aperture radiometer, or microwave interferometric radiometer (MIR), has been introduced in this paper. This radiometer is the passive part of a combined active/passive instrument for space-based ocean salinity observation. Recent progresses on radiometer hardware development and system simulation have been introduced.
