The Performance Analysis of Direct Sampling Microwave Radiometer

L-band direct sampling digital total power microwave radiometer (DSDTPMR) is a novel radiometer,which trades analog complexity for digital ditto.This article considered the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) gain fluctuation,analog-to-digital converter (ADC) sampling rates and quantization resolution,to derive a general mathematical expression of sensitivity of the DSDTPMR; Analyzed the influence of sampling rate,quantization on sensitivity of DSDTPMR;The simulation result indicating,when the sampling frequency is bigger than two times of signal bandwidth,the multi-bit quantization resolution has very small effect on the sensitivity; When the gain fluctuation obeys the Gaussian distribution,the gain fluctuation may reduce to √N times.
