This paper presents a method for compensating the elevation angle fluctuations occurring in airborne radiometry due to aircraft roll and pitch. The correction is based on a radiative transfer model, and is demonstrated by real data from conical scans over the ocean, showing good results.

The paper presents some new methods for early breast cancer detection using microwaves. On describe the following methods and techniques: microwave impedance tomography, termography and microwave radiometry, combined methods microwave and ultra-acustic image and confocal microwave imaging. We make an analysis of advantages and disadvantages of every method and also physical principles of microw...

Spectrophotometry has been the conventional technique for measuring optical density of irradiated gels [1]. Later, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was found to be capable of imaging radiation dose patterns in 3D [2]. Optical methods are still under investigation in the form of optical tomography [3– 6]. They promise to give three dimensional dose distributions without the cost attached to MRI....

The Institute of Applied Physics observes middle atmospheric trace gases, such as ozone and water vapour, by microwave radiometry. We report on the comparison of measurements using a novel digital Fast Fourier Transform and accousto optical spectrometers. First tests made on ground are presented as well as first experience about the use of such spectrometers under aircraft conditions.
