Several water equivalent retrieval algorithms were tested by using a four-year SMMR data set. The brightness temperature difference between 18 GHz and 37 GHz, vertical polarization, was observed to give the highest correlation coefficient with the manually measured snow water equivalent. The use of satellite microwave radiometer data for forest and surface type discrimination is believed to be the first effort in this field. The 10.7 GHz horizontally polarized SMMR channel was found to yield the near-surface wind speed in the Baltic Sea (width about 200 km) with reasonably good accuracy. Previously developed wind speed algorithms have been applied for areas far away from land.","PeriodicalId":227595,"journal":{"name":"1986 16th European Microwave Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125282586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The travelling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) is the best candidate for high efficiency, but the linearity has to be improved by using a predistortion linearizer. The diode-bridge type linearizer followed by a limiter is the optimum approach in terms of linearization effectiveness close to saturation, stable operation in satellite environment, simple construction and high reliability. Designing and using such a linearizer with a high efficiency TWT especially developed by AEG, the achieved linearization is close to the calculated for the \"ideal\" case. Just the limiter by itself improves the multicarrier behaviour of the TWTA close to saturation. Considering all the experience obtained by the work to be described, a proposal for a multicarrier transmitter is made finally which copes with most of the demands of present and future mobile satellite communication systems.","PeriodicalId":227595,"journal":{"name":"1986 16th European Microwave Conference","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121271454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
