In this study, the enhancement of the spatial resolution of microwave radiometer measurements is addressed by contrasting the accuracy of a gradient-like antenna pattern deconvolution method with its accelerated versions. The latter are methods that allow reaching a given accuracy with a reduced number of iterations. The analysis points out...

In this study, a new antenna pattern deconvolution method to enhance the spatial resolution of multi-channel microwave radiometer (MWR) measurements is developed. This technique, based on a conventional gradient-like iterative method, utilizes the information contained in a high-frequency channel to enhance the spatial resolution of the...
