Abstract
A simple radiotomography installation can be used for estimation of the thickness of an atmospheric random inhomogeneous layer located across the path. A system based on the angle antennas diversity is able to be more accurate. An additional advantage of this system is that the errors do not grow if the coherent signal processing is replaced by more simple incoherent processing
