Abstract :
The inverse black body radiation, which is the problem of determining the area-temperature distribution of a black body from its measured radiated power spectrum, was recently solved by Bojarski. His solution employs the inverse Laplace transform to reconstruct the area-coldness distribution from an integral equation based on Planck´s law. Our solution is similar but restricted to microwave frequencies and employs the Rayleigh-Jeans approximation to yield the corresponding portion of the area-coldness distribution using the inverse Laplace transform but avoiding the iterative procedure of Bojarski.
