Executive Summary : | Advancements and feasibility of RF/Microwave Technology largely define the capabilities and limitations of all Microwave Sensors. With this respect submillimeter/ THz technology has gained research popularity due to its enormous communication bandwidth, nano structured systems and varied applications. Applications associated with THz technology can be categorized into the following: Space Remote Sensing, earth Remote Sensing: Limb sounding of earth’s atmosphere for trace gases for radiation budget and pollution monitoring. Atmospheric sounding for continuous meteorological monitoring and modelling. Satellite Communication: Inter Satellite, High Data Speed Wireless Links, surface Communication network for future planetary exploration missions. Terrestrial Applications: Body scanning radars for surveillance, non-destructive Inspection of Materials, imaging for Medical Applications, high resolution local SAR Imaging. Planetary Remote Sensing: Molecular line spectroscopy of planetary atmosphere for detection of components like water, CO, ammonia and methanol. |
