With the rapid development of software-defined radio (SDR) technology, a digital, software-reconfigurable, and flexible solution is provided for microwave radiometers, particularly suitable for atmospheric water vapor and oxygen detection with wideband, multi-channel requirements, significantly improving system efficiency. Meanwhile, digitization helps improve channel consistency and address nonlinearity issues, while the digital zero-balancing mechanism implemented through adaptive integration is more suitable for digital platforms. This paper proposes a digital Dicke-type radiometer system based on an SDR platform, using Xilinx RFSoC XCZU47DR as the core hardware to achieve single-chip integration of RF signal sampling, digital local oscillator generation, and signal processing. The system implements a 46-channel channelized receiver (23 channels each for K-band and V-band) on FPGA using a polyphase filter bank. The prototype filters achieve 70 dB stopband attenuation and 0.5 dB passband ripple, with each polyphase branch requiring only 25 coefficients, significantly reducing hardware resource consumption. An adaptive integration method is proposed, where an adaptive switch controller dynamically adjusts the hot source injection time ratio by calculating the power difference between adjacent integration periods, enabling the Dicke zero-balancing mechanism to operate entirely in the digital domain. Furthermore, a complete hardware transfer model is established for three signal branches (antenna, hot source, and matched load), and full-chain calibration of all 46 channels is performed using a liquid nitrogen cold source, with calibration reliability verified through blackbody measurements. Experimental results demonstrate that the system achieves better than 0.7 K brightness temperature consistency across channels, with sensitivity less than 0.15 K at 1-s integration time, confirming its excellent channel consistency and measurement stability.
