minimizing estimation error variance using a weighted sum of samples from the soil moisture active passive (SMAP) satellite
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) is the latest passive remote sensing satellite operating in the protected L-band spectrum from 1.400 to 1.427 GHz. SMAP provides global-scale soil moisture images with point-wise passive scanning of the earth's thermal radiations. SMAP takes multiple samples in frequency and time from each antenna footprint to increase the likelihood of capturing RFI-free samples. SMAP's current RFI detection and mitigation algorithm excludes samples detected to be RFI-contaminated and averages the remaining samples. But this approach can be less effective for harsh RFI environments, where RFI contamination is present in all or a large number of samples. In this paper, we investigate a bias-free weighted sum of samples estimator, where the weights can be computed based on the RFI's statistical properties.
