Evaluating the Use of TROPICS Pathfinder Observations for Lunar Calibration
Traditional two-point in-situ calibration systems for microwave radiometers use large, on-board hot targets [12]. Small satellites such as CubeSats, however, are unable to house these hot targets due to SWaP constraints. Instead, CubeSat radiometers such as the TROPICS Pathfinder use noise diodes as...
