摘要：
A total-power radiometer built in combination with a beacon receiver is being used for low-level attenuation measurements. This experimental receiver was built to measure atmospheric propagation impairments, using the ITALSAT satellite 50-GHz signal. The radiometer is mainly used to provide the reference level for the beacon measurements. Its precision should be better than 3 K, for low attenuation levels, in order to have 0.1-dB accuracy in the attenuation measurements. A suitable calibration procedure is described in this letter.
