- Abstract
- Discusses a special issue of the Belgian Journal of Electronics and Communications that is devoted to applications of microwave technology for remote sensing from space in the civilian area. This is a rather young discipline related to the launch of satellites, along with technological developments allowing the production of a high enough microwave power needed by radars to cope with the very large attenuation the propagating waves suffer. Beside radars that make use of transmitted pulses, microwave radiometers that measure the brightness temperature of targets have been designed in parallel. This second category of instruments has the advantage of a very small energy consumption, as they do not need any transmitter.
