- The U.S. Department of Commerce, Aircraft Operations Center, MacDill, AFB, FL is requiring retrofit of a Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR) for the purpose of calculating surface winds over the ocean from the radiometers brightness temperatures which range between 80K and 300K over the operating frequencies 4.5 ? 7 GHZ. Currently the radiometer system switches between a 310K load and a 600K load for calibration purposes. The contractor shall modify AOC SFMR?s unit one and two to add a 50K load to improve the system calibration curves. The contractor shall develop and implement a faster Analog to Digital Converter and acquisition of the brightness temperatures and improve the switching time between the antenna and the various loads with the goal of significant improvement in the average brightness temperature measurements in AOC SFMR unit 1.
