Abstract
This work describes a software tool developed for ESA within the project BIBLOS-2 (BuIlding BLOcks for earth observation mission performance simulator) to model typical conical scanning microwave radiometers in a generic Earth Observation mission. It consists of functional modules: Geometry, Scene Generator, Instrument, and Level 1 data generation modules. This structure follows the architecture for generic Earth Observation mission simulator study, ARCHEO-E2E (ARCHitecture of Earth Observation). The improvement in the BIBLOS-2 Passive Microwave is developing the Radio Frequency Interferences (RFI) generation and mitigation functionality. The developed simulation modules will be provided soon via the BIBLOS web page (https://gmv-biblos.gmv.com/). In this paper, the functions of the BIBLOS-2 passive microwave are described module by module, including the RFI generation/mitigation examples.
