Abstract

This paper is focused on the choice of the module for low noise receiver in millimeter (mm) and sub millimeter (submm) wave ranges used in geophysical remote sensing systems for measurement of geophysical parameters by means of radiobrightness temperatures (radiometer systems obtaining data by means of radiobrightness temperatures). The observed data analysis, used in order to obtain recommendations and forecasts based on the radio telescope measurements and geophysical phenomena in the events of earthquakes, volcano explosions and typhoons, are realized by means of specialized computer codes.
