Abstract In the past, biomedical temperature measurements by microwave radiometry suffered from variable mismatch (emissivity <1) between the specimen under test and the receiving antenna. We have developed an improved radiometer, which simultaneously measures temperature and emissivity, independent by of a possible mismatch. Comparative measurements demonstrate the superiority of the new system as compared to conventional ones.
