A Rapid Beam Pointing Determination and Beam-Pointing Error Analysis Method for a Geostationary Orbiting Microwave Radiometer Antenna in Consideration of Antenna Thermal Distortions

When observing the Earth’s radiation signal with a geostationary orbiting (GEO) mechanically scanned microwave radiometer, it is necessary to correct the antenna beam pointing (ABP) in real time for the deviation caused by thermal distortions of antenna reflectors with the help of the on-board Image...
