Abstract
The MIAP-2 radiometric complex intended for measuring the atmospheric absorption in the millimeter wavelength range (2 and 3 mm) is described. The complex is based on two solid-state modulation radiometers with wave ranges of 84–99 GHz and 132–148 GHz, which are equipped with horn-lens antennas. The device determines an optical depth in the millimeter wave range using the atmospheric-dip method and the absolute signal calibration method in the fully automated mode under the remote control via the Internet. A set of observations was performed in the stationary mode and in mountain expedition conditions. The reliability of the device was evaluated from 2-year operation results.
