| Abstract | The rotating fan-beam scatterometer (RFSCAT) on-board Chinese-French Oceanic SATellite (CFOSAT) due to launch in 2018 is a new type of radar scatterometer system for ocean surface wind vector measurement. It can give observations with more azimuth and incidence angles for a single wind vector cell (WVC) than other available scatterometers. This has been proved effective in bettering the retrieved wind quality by the simulation approach. However, its innovative observing geometry is challenging for the coming in-orbit external calibration. In this paper, CFOSAT attitude errors are estimated, and its antenna gain pattern is monitored and verified based on the external calibration strategy of a Ku-band scatterometer employing calibration ground stations (CGSs). The effects of satellite attitude errors on the measurements are also analyzed, together with simulation results for the external calibration. It is shown that a gain pattern with accuracy of 0.08 dB and attitude errors within 0.025 degrees are achieved. |
