    • 热定标源作为空间微波辐射亮温计量标准,用于遥感卫星微波探测载荷在轨实时定标,是卫星的重要部件。基于黑体辐射源法的空间微波探测载荷辐射定标和标准传递是目前应用最广的辐射定标方法,世界三大极轨气象卫星NOAA(美国)、MetOp(欧洲)、风云(中国)配置的空间微波辐射计均采用此方法作为卫星定标热辐射亮温标准。针对风云三号气象卫星微波温度计和微波成像仪两个仪器的在轨定标应用需求,基于涂覆型周期性四面体角锥阵列定标黑体结构,通过电磁热特性综合设计、黑体及涂层制备精密加工技术、高精度温度测量与控制等技术,解决了宽带、高微波发射率、高均温星载热定标源工程化实现难题,核心技术指标达到工作频率10.65~191.31 GHz,发射率为0.999,温度不均匀度为0.10 K,测温精度为0.05 K,研制出国内首台空间微波辐射热定标源设备,实现了国产化,用于风云三号01-03批卫星,保证了我国空间微波辐射计定标载荷的自主性与独立性,为风云三号气象卫星微波探测载荷的量化应用建立了空间计量核心保障。

       

      Abstract: The hot calibration target is used as a space microwave radiometric brightness temperature measurement standard for real-time calibration of microwave detection payloads in remote sensing satellites, providing high-precision and high-stability standard radiation brightness temperature signals. It is an important component of the satellite. The radiation calibration and standard transfer of space microwave detection payloads are based on the blackbody radiation source method, which is the most widely used method at present. Currently, the space microwave radiometers carried by the world’s three major polar orbit meteorological satellites NOAA(USA), MetOp(Europe), FY(China) all use the microwave blackbody radiation source method as the reference for on-board hot radiation brightness. In response to the on-orbit calibration application requirement of the FY-3 meteorological satellite MWTS and MWRI, this research adopts a coated periodic tetrahedral pyramidal array structure for calibration blackbodies. By integrating comprehensive electromagnetic and thermal performance design, precision manufacturing technologies for blackbodies and coatings, as well as high-precision temperature measurement and control techniques, the project has overcome the engineering challenges in developing spaceborne thermal calibration sources featuring broadband, high microwave emissivity and superior temperature uniformity. Its core technical specifications cover an operating frequency range of 10.65 GHz to 191.31 GHz, with a microwave emissivity of 0.999, the temperature non-uniformity of 0.10 K, and the temperature measurement accuracy of 0.05 K. The first domestically developed space-borne microwave hot-calibration target has been realized, achieving full localization. It has been successfully applied to the FY-3 satellite MWTS and MWRI from batch 01 to 03, ensuring the autonomy and independence of China’s space microwave radiometer calibration payload. The core guarantee of space measurement has been established for the quantitative application of the FY-3 meteorological satellite in China.
