SeaWinds-1B Technology Study OverviewThe technology study entailed: 1) evaluating 4 options to improve nominal range resolution from 5.25 Km (QuikScat/SeaWinds - 1A) to 1 Km.; 2) identifying changes and impacts to the SES modules; 3) defined new general purpose DSPs with greater programmability and increased systems flexibility; 4) Developing candidate approach to improve receiver noise figure by 1.4 dB at 25 C. Noise figure improves further to 2.2 dB by cooling the LNA at 0 C; 5) Defining 2 approaches to add a 3rd antenna beam port; and 6) defining packaging concepts using SES-1A modules "as is" on SAS spinning side. Investigated fully repackaged SES on the SAS spinning skirt.
