Description:
Performance of a radiometer DBE is analyzed. The particular design corresponds to the DBE of the airborne Hurricane Imaging Radiometer. A computer simulator is developed to analyze effect of input power on various DBE output products. 2nd moment non-linearity is found to be negligible in the expected input signal dynamic range. Observed scaling between I and Q channels and the scaling among cross-correlation signals are verified by the simulator. Kurtosis sensitivity can be improved by lowering the input power - predicted by the simulator and verified in the lab.
