About capabilities of objects location using microwave radiometer

Microwave thermal radiation of various objects can be used for their location and identification. Thermovision in the infrared range enables to find temperature distribution on the object surface while microwave radiometers allow to recognize hot objects placed for instance, behind thermal shields. In the paper the authors present selected results of the research on passive system for discovering live creatures based on microwave radiometer. Performed experiments showed that assumptions were correct and the radiometer is very useful for such applications.
