Abstract

Dual-channel Radiometers for Earth and Atmosphere Monitoring (DREAM) is the Korean first spaceborne microwave radiometer which is the main payload of Science and Technology SATellite-2 (STSAT-2). STSAT-2 will be launched by Korea Space Launch Vehicle-l (KSL V-I) at NARO Space Center in Korea in 2007. DREAM is a two-channel, total power microwave radiometer with the center frequencies of 23.8 GHz and 37 GHz. The spaceborne radiometer is composed of an antenna unit, a receiver unit, and a data acquisition/processing unit. The bandwidths of radiometer are 600 MHz at 23.8 GHz and 1000 MHz at 37 GHz. The integration time of two channels is 200 rns. The sensitivity of DREAM is less than 0.5 K. This paper presents the required performance and system design of DREAM in detail.
