Hi everybody, I am used to simulate ground-based microwave spectra with qpack (22GHz to 58 GHz).
I normally define a double side band average but now I would like to test my simulations with the assumption of monochromatic pencil beam. I keep the same qpack code and I only changed the variable Q.SENSOR_DO to false instead of true. However I obtain unreasonable brightness temperature in the most opaque channels of the O2 absorption band. Here is the spectrum that I simulate with the double side band average: 37.1335 36.2098 31.8496 23.8967 21.4893 18.8657 17.9993 109.5801 151.6191 249.6631 278.5141 283.6000 283.8424 283.9169 whereas this is what I obtain with a monochromatic pencil beam calculation: 36.9074 37.6239 36.9598 35.3325 33.2136 30.9684 28.8201 26.8801 25.1884 23.7449 22.5305 21.5187 20.6823 19.9959 I obtain 19K instead of 283 K for the most opaque channels, this is weird (the last 7 channels). Does anyone see what the problem is, I probably did not define all the variables needed, I just turned out the SENSOR_DO variable.. Thank you very much for your help.
