Abstract
The recently developed Spherical Wave Expansion-to-Plane
Wave Expansion (SWE-to-PWE) antenna diagnostics
technique is employed in an investigation of the antenna
system in the Microwave Imaging Radiometer using Aperture
Synthesis (MIRAS) for ESA’s Soil Moisture and Ocean
Salinity (SMOS) mission. The SWE-to-PWE antenna
diagnostics technique successfully identifies the sources of
the anomalies detected in 2 of the 138 MIRAS antenna farfield patterns that were measured during the on-ground
calibration at the DTU-ESA Spherical Near-Field Antenna
Test Facility in 2006. In addition to its obvious value for the SMOS mission, this investigation also provides an
experimental validation of the SWE-to-PWE antenna diagnostics technique.
