Errors in Sensing High-Speed Thermal Radio Emission Processes with a Compensating Radiometer

The present work shows the peculiarities and problems pertinent to the measurement of variables of high-speed thermal radio emissions. A numerical model has been developed that shows the integral measurement errors of a compensation radiometer. This model used classical methods for describing compensation microwave radiometers. Simulation was performed in the Matlab mathematical modeling environment using the built-in functions for generating random numbers of uniform distribution. This paper presents the results of numerical simulation of measurements of the high-speed thermal radio emission process parameters and the effect of anomalous fluctuations in the transmission coefficient, operating bandwidth, antenna noise temperature, and receiver noise on the performance of a compensating radiometer. We have given conclusions for each result of this simulation and a description of what a change in some parameters of the receiver can lead to. Also, we evaluated the factors that could increase the sensing speed of the compensating radiometer through improving receiver specifications and increasing development budget.
