Abstract: Quasi-optical networks (QON) were widely used in the remote sensing radiometry system embedded in the satellite platform. Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications,Queen Mary University of London in collaboration with Beihang University had designed a dual-path QON by using the diffractive Gaussian beam analysis (DGBA) method developed at Queen Mary. The system required an output beamwidth of 20 degrees at-8.68dB with a side lobe below-25dB. Good agreement is achieved between simulation and experiment.
