Abstract

A system includes an antenna having a predetermined directivity and a measurement data processing device that modifies spatial resolution of measurement data received from the antenna. The device includes a plurality of multipliers that multiply together measurement values, which are the signal intensity of the microwave output by the microwave radiometer, and weighting coefficients to be an element of a weighted vector a and output multiplication results; and an integrator that integrates the multiplication results of the plurality of multipliers. The weighted vector a modifies the accuracy of the corrected sensitivity function Φ(x,y) with performance of the arithmetic processing of the inverse problem in order to reduce integrated values of a positive value region and a negative value region present on an outer side of the sensitivity distribution of the target antenna sensitivity distribution function F(x,y) in the corrected sensitivity function Φ(x,y).
