Thanks to the use of large bandwidth GNSS signals, this technique is advantageous in comparison to the so-called clean-replica processing, when sea surface altimetric applications are pursued. The SPIR receiver down-converts, samples, and records the GNSS signals acquired by the sixteen elements of two antenna arrays. It can operate at any of the common GNSS L1, L2, or L5 bands. Digital beam-forming and signal processing is performed off-line by its dedicated signal processor, so that the GNSS reflectometry can be applied to different transmitting satellites using the same set of recorded signals. Alternatively, different processing techniques can be compared by applying them to exactly the same signals. This article focuses on the SPIR instrument hardware and software, as well as the remote sensing observables that can be obtained using this equipment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs9050450","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,8]],"date-time":"2017-05-08T15:45:16Z","timestamp":1494258316000},"page":"450","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["A Software-Defined GNSS Reflectometry Recording Receiver with Wide-Bandwidth, Multi-Band Capability and Digital Beam-Forming"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9173-8355","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Serni","family":"Rib\u00f3","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Group, Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC\/IEEC), 08193 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Arco-Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Group, Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC\/IEEC), 08193 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain"}]},{"given":"Estel","family":"Cardellach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Group, Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC\/IEEC), 08193 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain"}]},{"given":"Fran","family":"Fabra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Group, Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC\/IEEC), 08193 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain"}]},{"given":"Weiqiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Group, Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC\/IEEC), 08193 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain"}]},{"given":"Oleguer","family":"Nogu\u00e9s-Correig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Group, Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC\/IEEC), 08193 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5947-2649","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Rius","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Group, Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC\/IEEC), 08193 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain"}]},{"given":"Manuel","family":"Mart\u00edn-Neira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"European Space and Technology Center, European Space Agency, 2200 AG Noordwijk, The Netherlands"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hall, C.D., and Cordey, R.A.
