Abstract :
Nowadays, there is the growing interest to exploration of the Earth´s surface, the world oceans and the atmosphere by remote sensing using radiometry in the submillimeter range. This article considers the design of such radiometric superheterodyne receivers and the calculation of their potential sensitivity
