ECE Radiometers

ECE (Electro-Optic) radiometers are devices used to measure the intensity of electromagnetic radiation, particularly in the microwave or radio frequency range. They detect energy emitted or reflected by objects, which helps in applications like weather forecasting, remote sensing, and scientific research. The radiometer converts the incoming electromagnetic signals into electrical signals, allowing precise measurement of radiation levels. This capability helps scientists understand phenomena such as atmospheric conditions, Earth’s surface properties, or cosmic signals, providing vital data for various technological and environmental analyses.
