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.
