Abstract

A review of microwave radiometric (MWR) instruments, algorithms and ancillary data for deriving total attenuation and sky noise in propagation experiments is presented. The paper also includes reference to MWR networks, experimental databases and identification of the channel condition in propagation experiments and telecom systems.
