Abstract
The paper describes the European Space Agency's first remote sensing satellite (ERS-1) and the relationship of the active microwave instrumentation (AMI) to the rest of the payload. The requirement method and specification values for performance aspects are laid down for the AMI. The development status of the AMI and present in-orbit performance predictions are presented. The design areas concerning ambiguous energy, AMI antenna interactions, receiver gain setting, and antenna gain variation are discussed.
