The passive radiometry measurement is accomplished in a novel fashion by monitoring the noise density at the output of the photodetector and solving for the amount of background light. The passive radiometry measurements provide images of Mars at 1064-nm wavelength over a 2 nm bandwidth with sub-km spatial resolution and with 2% or better precision under full illumination. We describe in this paper the principle of operation, the receiver mathematical model, its calibration, and performance assessment from sample measurement data. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nasa Technical Reports Server (Ntrs),Xiaoli Sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 128727899X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781287278993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bibliogov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.07d","brand":"Nasa Technical Reports Server (Ntrs)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611326005503,"sku":"9781287278993","price":15.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43338312-89d1-4d6d-84b5-3b2755ccfe15.jpg?v=1764513173","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mars-1064-nm-spectral-radiance-measurements-nasa-technical-reports-server-ntrs-9781287278993","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
