Abstract

An airborne L-band two-dimensional interferometric radiometer by aperture synthesis, HUT-2D, is under development and construction at LST/HUT (Laboratory of Space Technology/Helsinki University of Technology) in co-operation with Ylinen Electronics Ltd. The instrument consists of 36 antenna/receiver elements and an FPGA-based digital correlator and it will be accommodated onboard the LST/HUT remote sensing aircraft, Short SC-7 Skyvan
