Applied Microwaves
Applied Radio Astronomy Laboratory specialized in Development and Manufacturing of High-Sensitivity Microwave Radiometers and Polarimeters
The interferometer radio telescope was fabricated and installed in the scientific polygon “Saravand” at IRPHE. The continues regular observations of Galactic background and point-like cosmic radio sources (Cassiopeia A, Lebed A) culminating near the Zenith are conducting on this radio-telescope. The anomaly and normal time series of radio sources Cassiopeia A, Lebed A were presented before the earthquakes in Stepanakert (Armenia, 24.03.2015, M≈3.7) and in Gandzak ( 25.03.2015, M≈3.5).
A series of high-sensitivity thermal radiation receivers have been developed in the decimeter, centimeter and millimeter wavebands. Due to application of new processing algorithms and advanced hardware technology, temperature resolution of these radiometers reached 0.02 K for 1 sec time constant.
The radiometers manufactured in IRPhE were efficiently used in the FSU and international space research programs Priroda, Phobos and Vega designed to investigate the Earth resources and analyze the atmosphere, both of the Earth and other planets.
Another practically important application of microwave radiometers developed in IRPhE was testing of antenna beam patterns for a large Satellite Tracking System existing on the FSU territory.
Microwave polarimeters have been developed in the laboratory which measure simultaneously all four Stokes parameters of the received radiation with high accuracy.
