Preliminary design of a combined Ka-band altimeter and dual frequency radiometer

In preparation of the post ENVISAT and Jason-2 altimetry missions, Alcatel is currently studying in phase A for CNES a new class of altimeter. A major objective is to propose a combined altimeter and radiometer at minimum cost, size and power consumption compatible with a micro-satellite (
