Abstract
In this research, we describe recent technologies and system requirements of the passive microwave radiometer used in Earth observation satellites. And we classify types of microwave radiometer system for Earth observation satellites according to observation targets and ways to scan and discuss a design method. Also, requirements of passive radiometer for Earth observation missions in the latest practical examples used and developed are analyzed in this research.
