Microwave Radiometry Project

Abstract

The following report presents the results of work done on the theory, design and application of microwave radiometry equipment. In the first section a brief historical outline and a delineation of the purpose of the work is given. The second section is devoted to the development of microwave black body and detection theory that is pertinent to the design and application of microwave radiometers. The third section is devoted to discussions of the basic components of microwave radiometers and to the description of the work done on four radiometer systems. The fourth and last section is a discussion of astronomical observations and military applications of microwave radiometry.
