한반도 기후 분석에 마이크로파 위성자료의 이용을 위해 1981년에서 1998년까지 18년간 한반도 4개의 고층 관측 지점에서 얻어진 온도자료와 위성자료를 비교하였다. 위성자료로 극궤도 위성인 NOAA위성에 탑재되어 있는 MSU(Microwave Sounding Unit) 채널 2와 채널 4 휘도온도를 이용하였다. 고층 관측소의 라디오존데 자료는 MSU 휘도온도와 비교하기위해 MSU 가중함수를 이용하여 고도마다 가중을 두어 월평균 온도 값을 만들어내었다. 월평균 기후값 비교에서 여름철에 라디오존데 온도가 MSU 휘도온도보다 높은 온도를 보였다. 두 온도사이의 상관에서는 채널2의 경우 0.72 - 0.76, 채널 4에서는 0.73 - 0.81정도를 보였다 18년 동안의 온도경향은 채널 2의 경우는 0.04$^{\circ}C$/year의 증가가 있었고, 채널 4의 경우는 -0.07$^{\circ}C$/year의 감소가 보였다.

미국 군사기상위성 프로그램의 SSM/I 센서에서 관측한 마이크로파 복사자료를 이용하여 대기수문변수 (수증기량, 구름수적량, 강수율)를 추정하였으며, 이 자료를 동아시아 하계 몬순의 특징을 파악하기 위해 활용하였다 한반도를 포함한 중국 북동부, 일본 지역에 가뭄현상이 나타났던 1994년과 정상적인 몬순활동을 보였던 1795년의 6, 7, 8월을 사례로 선택하였으며 분석영역은 (0$^{\circ}$-60$^{\circ}$N, 45$^{\circ}$-180$^{\circ}$E)의 아시아몬순 지역이다. 분석 결과 북위 20-30$^{\circ}$위도대에서 날짜변경선 부근으로부터 동아시아 몬순지역으로 건조한 영역 (적은 수증기 영역)의 서쪽이동이 약 20-30일 주기로 나타나고 있다. 건조지역의 서쪽 이동은 북태평양고기압의 동아시아몬순 지역으로의 확장을 의미하며, 결과적으로 동아시아 몬순지역에 수증기의 공급 등 대류활동을 증진시키는 요인을 제공하여 북태평양 고기압의 세력확장은 몬순의 진행에 영향을 주는 중요한 요인의 하나로 파악된다.

The task of development and usage in a corporate computer network of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FEB RAS) of integrated technology of joint use by the scientists of satellite and sub satellite data on a Northwestern Pacific is considered. This integrated technology is realized by embedding of satellite data in the corporate oceanographic GIS of FEB RAS as a new information layer, and also by support of GIS by program techniques for specialized processing of both kinds of the data. As a result of integration the specialists of FEB RAS have an opportunity to carry out coordinated samples of satellite and various oceanographic data as a function of area, time and other important conditions, visualize them together and carry out analytical processing with the usage of the GIS tools. Application of the realized approach to improve the techniques of detection and description of the oceanic phenomena on ERS-l and ERS-2 SAR images as well as to improve of perspective techniques of the usage the brightness temperatures measured by a microwave radiometers AMSR-E on a board of Aqua (USA) satellites are discussed.

A LNA module, integrated microwave assemblies (IMAs) were developed for use in Ka-band Satellite Communication Satellite Payload that operates in the frequency range of 29,6 ${\~}$ 30.0GHz. The module will be placed directly behind their respective antenna feed horns to minimize the required waveguide and system noise figure impact. Two MMIC LNA Chips were used in the module design. The measured result shows that the module has 32dB gain and 2.4dB NF performance. The module size is 51m ${\times}$ 36m ${\times}$ 22 and the mass is 92g. The Noise Figure performance is the best result of currently available modules for satellite payload operating in the same frequency range. The module will be assembled using space-qualified process and tested for space qualification.

Satellite-derived sea surface winds (SSWs) and atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) over the global ocean, particularly including the areas in and around tropical cyclones (TCs), have been provided in a real-time and continuous manner. More and better information is now derived from technologically improved multiple satellite missions and wind retrieving techniques. The status and prospects of key SSW products retrieved from scatterometers, passive microwave radiometers, synthetic aperture radar, and altimeters as well as AMVs derived by tracking features from multiple geostationary satellites are reviewed here. The quality and error characteristics, limitations, and challenges of satellite wind observations described in the literature, which need to be carefully considered to apply the observations for both operational and scientific uses, i.e., assimilation in numerical weather forecasting, are also described. Additionally, on-going efforts toward merging them, particularly for monitoring three-dimensional TC wind fields in a real-time and continuous manner and for providing global profiles of high-quality wind observations with the new mission are introduced. Future research is recommended to develop plans for providing more and better SSW and AMV products in a real-time and continuous manner from existing and new missions.

Receiver and transmitter monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) multifunction chips (MFCs) for active phased-array antennas for Ka-band satellite communication (SATCOM) terminals have been designed and fabricated using a 0.15-㎛ GaAs pseudomorphic high-electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) process. The MFCs consist of four-channel radio frequency (RF) paths and a 4:1 combiner. Each channel provides several functions such as signal amplification, 6-bit phase shifting, and 5-bit attenuation with a 44-bit serial-to-parallel converter (SPC). RF pads are implemented on the bottom side of the chip to remove the parasitic inductance induced by wire bonding. The area of the fabricated chips is 5.2 mm × 4.2 mm. The receiver chip exhibits a gain of 18 dB and a noise figure of 2.0 dB over a frequency range from 17 GHz to 21 GHz with a low direct current (DC) power of 0.36 W. The transmitter chip provides a gain of 20 dB and a 1-dB gain compression point (P1dB) of 18.4 dBm over a frequency range from 28 GHz to 31 GHz with a low DC power of 0.85 W. The P1dB can be increased to 20.6 dBm at a higher bias of +4.5 V.

In developing algorithms to retrieve the sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface wind speed from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) aboard the AQUA and the Advanced Earth Observation Satellite-II (ADEOS-II), data from the SeaWinds aboard ADEOS-II were helpful. Since features of the ocean microwave emission (Tb) related with ocean wind are not well understood, in case of using only AMSR data, combination of AMSR and SeaWinds revealed pronounced features about the ocean Tb. Two results from combinations of the two sensors were shown in this paper. One result was obtained at wind speeds over about 6m/s, in which the ocean Tb varies with the air-sea temperature difference, even though the SeaWinds wind speed is fixed at the same values. The ocean Tb increases as the air-sea temperature difference becomes negative, i.e., the boundary condition becomes unstable. This result indicates that the air temperature should be included in AMSR SST algorithm. The second result was obtained from comparison of two wind speeds between AMSR and SeaWinds. There is a small difference of two wind speeds, which might be related with several mechanisms, such as evaporation and plankton.

Dual channel Radiometer for Earth and Atmospheric Monitoring (DREAM) is the main payload on Science and Technology SATellite-2 (STSAT-2) of Korea. DREAM is two-channel microwave radiometer with linear polarization, and operating at center frequencies of 23.8 GHz and 37 GHz. An equation for DREAM calibration is derived which accounts for losses and re-radiation in the microwave components of the radiometer due to physical temperature. This paper describes the radiometric calibration equation to get antenna temperature ($T_A$) from the measured output data. At lower altitude, the measured deep space temperature is contaminated by middle atmosphere and earth radiation. In this paper, we presented the detail mathematical formulation to find the altitude up to which cold source brightness temperature is not affected by earth and middle atmosphere radiation. The DREAMPFM data is used to calculate the performance parameters (linearity, sensitivity, dynamic range, and etc.) of the system.
