Abstract

A hot calibration load whose temperature is measured and controlled is described, and the measurement method of the microwave absorber reflectivity is also mentioned. In the end, two mathematical models are provided. The numerical results show obviously that the brightness temperature is the function of the angle of view, the contribution of the insulation layer can not be neglected.
