Abstract
Significant improvements in the gain stability and overall performance of microwave radiometers have been achieved with the use of a selfbalancing gain modulation technique. This technique, in combination with automatic thermal calibration, is particularly well suited for remote sensing radiometric applications. The essential features of such a radiometer, including typical data obtained from a spaceborne satellite, is presented to show the instrument's utility.
