摘要: This study provides a general framework to analyze the effects on correlation radiometers of generic quantization scheme and sampling process. It reviews, unifies expands several previous works that focused these separately. In addition, it theoretical background allows analyzing any digitization including number levels, irregular steps, gain compression, clipping, jitter skew period.
