Abstract Contact of an applicator
on the skin surface may cool the tissues so that the resulting brightness
temperature measured by the applicator is varied. The tissue cooling effect
on the brightness temperature was quantitatively evaluated. From the
experimental results, it was concluded that an accurate temperature control
was needed in order to reduce the errors in the brightness temperature. A new
method of temperature control which permits continuous measurement of the
thermal responses of a human body was attempted, and advantages and
disadvantages of the method are discussed. The research results may be
practical and useful for the accurate measurement of brightness temperature. |
