심각한 환경문제인 적조 피해를 줄이기 위해서 효과적인 모니터링 기술이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 초고주파 라디오미터 센서를 이용한 효과적인 적조 모니터링에 대한 가능성을 조사하였다. 초고주파 라디오미터를 이용해 관측되는 밝기 온도의 차이로 적조 해수를 모니터링 할 수 있다는 아이디어에 기반하여 연구를 수행하였다. 본문에서는 이론적인 배경과 가능성 확인을 위한 실험과정, 결과가 서술되어 있다 실제 해양에서의 측정 실험에서 적조지역의 밝기 온도가 청정지역의 밝기 온도보다 높게 측정되었다. 결론으로, 본 연구를 통하여 초고주파 라디오미터를 이용한 적조 모니터링이 가능함을 확인하였다.

W-대역 잡음온도 표준 확립에 필요한 잡음전력 수신기인 라디오미터를 제작하고, 성능을 평가하였다. 제작된 라디오미터를 사용하여 기준 상온 및 저온잡음원, 그리고 피측정잡음원의 잡음전력을 각각 측정하고, 라디오미터 식을 사용하여 피측정잡음원의 잡음온도를 구하였다. 결과에 대한 측정불확도를 평가하고, 국외 측정표준기관인 영국 NPL의 측정결과와 비교함으로써 측정의 유효성을 검증하였다. 확립된 W-대역 잡음온도 측정표준을 국내 산학연에 보급함으로써 자동차, 항공, 우주, 국방, 보안 등 다양한 분야의 잡음측정에 있어서 측정의 신뢰성을 높이는데 기여하게 될 것이다.

대기 수증기량의 정확한 추정은 우주측지 정밀도 향상에 필수적이다. 대류층 지연오차의 주요 원인인 대기 수증기량을 추정하는 대표적인 시스템으로는 라디오존데, 라디오미터, GPS 등이 있다. 한국천문연구원은 GPS 가강수량의 상시 비교검증을 위해 2009년 7월부터 라디오미터를 도입하여 비교관측을 수행하고 있다. 라디오미터는 대기복사의 밝기온도를 측정하여 가강수량을 산출하는 시스템으로써, 24시간 연속관측이 가능하고 실시간으로 관측결과를 확인할 수 있으나, 강수시 불안정하다. 2009년 7월부터 최근까지 GPS와 라디오미터 가강수량 결과간 비교로부터 0.1mm, 1.8mm의 편향과 표준편차, 0.98의 상관관계계수를 산출하였다. 현재 두 시스템의 가강수량을 10분 간격으로 비교하고 있으며, 그 결과를 웹으로 표출하는 시스템을 구축하여 운영하고 있다.

In this paper, the performance of the narrowband channelized radiometer that have a short detection time and high time-resolution was verified based on the theoretical formula. According to the simulation result, the channelized radiometer showed 2.5 dB superior detection performance compared to the broadband radiometer, but is more sensitive to the effects of noise than the broadband radiometer. Also the signal-to-noise of a channelized radiometer was changed dramatically according to the hop rate and jitter effect, which is linearly decreased as the change of two parameters.

In this paper, we propose a passive microwave sensor for detecting human body using microwave radiometer technologies. The proposed sensor detects human body by measuring the change of the received radiation power from fixed background object due to human body. A C-band microwave radiometer is designed and implemented. The received radiation power changes due to human body is measured by the C-band microwave radiometer, and the effectiveness of the proposed sensor is evaluated by the measurement result analysis.

We discuss the design of a radiometer using a millimeterwave(Ka-band) seeker. We applied a total power radiometer, thus the radiometer is composed of a IF-drive amp, band-pass filter, detector and an Op-amp additionally. As a radiometer measure a radiated signal of an object which is noise-like, a radiometer is easily affected by the variance of system temperature. To mitigate an adverse effect, we propose a compensation method in a radiometer without brightmess temperature compensation circuits. Through some experiments such like a distinction a target and the background, we have verified that the designed radiometer system has distingushed a car from the ground completely.

We have developed a millimeter-wave radiometer system for applications in the fields of medical imaging. In this paper, we introduced the brightness temperature measurement in the human body using Millimeter-wave Radiometer. Calibration of sensitivity of the radiometer system is essential to measure equivalent temperature (brightness temperature) of objects. We have developed, as a calibration source, a new type of black body for the millimeter wave region with temperature control capability. The system noise figure and temperature sensitivity of the system measured using the blackbody are 3.3 dB and 0.1 K, respectively. The brightness temperature of human body through clothes was measured to be around $38^{\circ}$[C].

In this paper, we propose a C-band radiometer for remote sensing of land surface temperature and present its experiment results using asphalt as target. Total power type is selected for high sensitivity and low power consumption, super-heterodyne type is selected for stable high gain. A radiometer designed at 5.1 GHz to have operating bandwidth of 110 MHz has system gain of 59 dB, noise figure of 2.7 dB and receiving sensitivity of 0.45 K. We have measured surface temperature on asphalt by using implemented system and thermometer. Analysis data of each measurement results show that a radiometer operates linearly with output voltage variation rate of 6 $mV/^{\circ}C$. As a result, we verified validity of a developed C-band radiometer for remote sensing of land surface temperature.
