Noninvasive thermometry using multiple-frequency-band radiometry: a feasibility study.
The potential use of multiple-frequency-band radiometry as a means of noninvasive sensing of one-dimensional temperature profiles is presented in this communication. The radiative energy transfer equation is solved numerically. Ideal-condition thermal noise spectra and distributions of received energy, associated with specific temperature-depth profiles, are presented. Performance characteristics are discussed.
