Abstract
Although considered as stationary and Gaussian in general, radiometer gain is usually a fluctuating signal with non-stationary properties. Analyses of such non-stationary features is challenging as the radiometer signal cannot be observed independently. On the other hand, time series of post-gain voltages constitute an ensemble set for the radiometer gain which can be used to characterize the radiometer gain. This paper presents a novel technique called "Ensemble Detection" which can analytically retrieve the standard deviation of stationary Gaussian radiometer gain or find an equivalent stationary Gaussian process which represents the non-stationary radiometer gain under different calibration schemes. It has been found that the equivalent Gaussian process for non-stationary radiometer gain heavily depends on the calibration structure and the observation times of the measurand and the calibration references.
