Abstract: |
A zero intermediate frequency(ZeroIF) total power radiometer system
architecture is proposed to reduce the realization difficulties as well as the
cost of total power radiometer with common heterodyne receiver. It will also be he
lpful for system integration and miniaturization. The power spectrum of video si
gnal and the temperature sensitivity of total power radiator is analyzed using t
heory of stochastic process. Then the temperature sensitivity of ZeroIF total
power radiometer is analyzed based on the previous analysis. The results show tha
t a highpass filter(HPF) to suppress DC drift and noise or clutter in low freq
uency in intermediate frequency channel of ZeroIF radiometer will not affect the tem
perature sensitivity if its cutoff frequency is higher than half of the bandwid
th of the video integral filter.Under this condition, the sensitivity of ZeroI
F radiometer is as the same of common total power radiometer with RF bandwidth twice
the IF bandwidth. Finally a millimeterwave band multichannel ZeroIF total
power radiometer system with 34~40 GHz operational frequency band is designed
. The system is realized with the features of 10channel and local oscillation signa
l airfeeding and spatial power dividing. High integration and miniaturization
of the whole system is realized. The measured temperature sensitivity is accordi
ng with the theoretic value well, thus the presented theory analysis as well as
the design method of ZeroIF total radiometer system is validated. |
