Abstract

This Chapter is on the basics of microwave radiometry used for registration of weak thermal signals. Additionally to the principles of radiometry, some original results are considered. Among them is the application of the methods of stochastic dynamics to the analysis of radiation and a technique developed to separate the parasitic deterministic and human-body thermal signals. A millimeter wave imager of a novel design is described allowing working in the radiometric, in scattering, and in holographic regimes. References -74. Figures -18. Pages -39.
