Abstract
The 20.7/31.4 GHz Water Vapor Radiometer (WVR-RO6) located at the JPL Mesa in Pasadena was used for atmospheric noise temperature measurements on March 24, 1981. The equivalent sun disk temperature measurements computed from the results of the previously reported sun antenna temperature measurements (Ref. I) are: Frequency, Tun K Tun ® GHz (This report) (Ref. 6) 20.7 10,530 +210 (10) 11,430 31.4 9,170 +250 (1 a) 9,960 Comparison of the results of this report with Ref. 6 at the same frequency indicates satisfactory radiometer performance. The results of the horn antenna HPBW (half power beamwidth) evaluation indicate that the design goal of approximately equal beamwidths at 20.7 and 31.7 GHz was achieved.
