This paper deals with improvements of aperture synthesized microwave radiometer. It is known that this type of radiometer is effective to obtain higher spatial resolution than real aperture radiometer. However, two problems, that is, sufficient sidelobe reduction for practical use and pattern variation due to incident brightness temperature, are still unsolved.
In this paper, a new configuration of the aperture synthesized microwave radiometer for improving the above problems is described. Experimental results using an L-band prototype radiometer are also presented.
