Multifilter Spectrometer (FEB (Multifilter Electronics Box)) for Microwave Atmospheric Sounder

摘要

The purpose of the research was to develop the multifilter electronics box (FEB) which is part of the Millimeter Atmospheric Sounder, MAS. The MAS observes the earth's atmosphere at five microwave/millimeter-wave frequencies to measure water vapor, ozone, and chlorine-monoxide. The FEB provides the detailed spectral analysis of the receiver outputs through the use of 240 separate filters and detectors, whose digitized outputs are passed on to the experiment computer.
