Abstract :
A scanning 3-mm radiometer system has been built and used on a helicopter to produce moderate-resolution (0.5°) images of the ground. This millimeter-wave sensor can be used for a variety of remote-sensing applications and produces images through clouds, smoke, and dust when visual and IR sensors are not usable. The system is described and imaging results are presented.
