Self-balancing microwave comparison radiometer
A 3cm radiometer evolved from Allred's 3 Mc/s system is described. The sum and difference of the voltages from an aerial and a controllable noise source are formed in a magic-T hybrid and correlated. The correlator output, which is zero only for equal aerial and reference powers, is used to adjust the reference to equality.

Methods of research of radiothermal radiation of cryospheric objects in the microwave range [PDF]
Many cryospheric formations on Earth have an inaccessible location. For example, when studying ice sheets located on the water surface, at the initial moment of ice formation, it becomes difficult to take samples.

Microwave Remote Sensing of Soil Moisture [PDF]
Because of the large contrast between the dielectric constant of liquid water and that of dry soil at microwave wavelength, there is a strong dependence of the thermal emission and radar backscatter from the soil on its moisture content.
