- An airborne L-band 2-D interferometric radiometer for Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) measurements has been developed in the Helsinki University of Technology, Laboratory of Space Technology. The first successful flights were conducted in spring 2006. In this paper, the technical description, calibration, and image reconstruction philosophy and the latest results from the use of the instrument are discussed. One of the key goals of the instrument design has been to acquire L-band interferometric data to support the European Space Agency's SMOS mission that employs the L-band interferometric radiometer Microwave Interferometric Radiometer using Aperture Synthesis. Both instruments use aperture synthesis technology for the target image reconstruction in two dimensions.
