An imaging microwave radiometer, a passive microwave instrument proposed for inclusion in the sensor payload of the Coastal Ocean Monitoring Satellite System (COMSS) spacecraft, was studied. The instrument detects microwave radiation at 5 frequencies in the range 6.8 to 36.5 GHz, each at vertical and horizontal polarization, and has an optional facility for measurements at 90 GHz. Results show that the instrument meets the experiment requirements proposed by ESA and meets the accommodation constraints of the COMSS payload.
