The SMAP radiometer operates within the protected Earth Exploration Satellite Service passive frequency allocation of 1400-1427 MHz. However, unauthorized in-band transmitters and out-of-band emissions from transmitters operating at frequencies adjacent to this allocated spectrum are known to cause interference to microwave radiometry in this band. Because measurement corruption by these terrestrial transmissions, which is referred to as radio-frequency interference (RFI), threatens mission success, the SMAP radiometer includes special flight hardware to enable the detection and filtering of RFI. Results from the first year of SMAP data show the presence of RFI with frequent occurrence over Asia and Europe. During the calibration/validation stage of the mission, the RFI detection and mitigation algorithms were modified to provide enhanced performance. Analysis of the L1B_TB products indicates good algorithmic performance with respect to RFI detection and removal. However, some regions of the globe (e.g., Japan) continue to experience complete data loss. This paper summarizes updates to the SMAP RFI processing algorithms based on prelaunch tests and on-orbit measurements, as well as RFI information obtained in SMAP's first year on orbit.

A comparative analysis of low-level radio frequency interference in SMOS and Aquarius microwave radiometer measurements / Mustafa Aksoy in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 51 n° 10 (October 2013)

RFI detection and mitigation remain a challenging problem for both missions, especially for low or moderate (i.e., on the order of 10 K or less) amplitude contributions. An algorithm for low-level source detection and mitigation is already included in Aquarius data sets, and both Aquarius and SMOS have distinct attributes that can potentially enable further improvements in detection and mitigation of these sources to some degree. The combination of SMOS and Aquarius data sets may enable further future improvements as well. Initial efforts toward this goal are reported in this paper. Similarities and differences in RFI effects on SMOS and Aquarius are examined, with a particular focus on instrument properties that cause differences in received RFI power in SMOS and Aquarius observations of a specific source. A study is also performed of SMOS observations for regions reported by Aquarius to contain “low-level” RFI. It is shown that the detection of these sources in the SMOS data set is challenging and that the dependence of the SMOS third and fourth Stokes parameters on incidence angle makes the polarimetric features of SMOS difficult to utilize for low-level source detection. However, an angular fitting procedure suggested previously in the literature can, in some cases, detect such sources in horizontal and vertical polarizations.
