Millimeter-wave radiometer for the measurement of temperatures in hot transient plasma

A superheterodyne Dicke type radiometer suitable for the measurement of radiation from a high temperature plasma in the 35 GHz range has been developed. The radiometer employs a balanced mixer at the radiometer frequency, a 3.5 GHz parametric amplifier using a varactor diode as the first IF amplifie...
