Ensuring radiothermometer sensitivity

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

Microwave radiothermometry is used to detect pathologies in the internal organs. The method has not been widely used, because of the low sensitivity of existing devices. A multi-channel, multi-frequency microwave device based on a monolithic integrated circuit (MIC) solves this problem. This report discusses the issue of ensuring the required sensitivity of a multichannel multifrequency radiothermometer.
