Abstract
The Radio frequency Interference Survey of
Earth (RISE) is a new type of instrument used to
survey and characterize the presence of Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI) that can affect
microwave radiometers. It consists of a combined
microwave radiometer and kurtosis spectrometer with
broad frequency coverage and high temporal and
spectral resolution. A K-Band airborne version has
been built and flown across southeast Michigan. A
kurtosis detector is included in RISE to reliably detect
the presence of RFI, even at very low levels, and to aid
in its characterization. A radiometer is included to
measure the impact of the RFI on observed brightness
temperature.
