Abstract. The topics of this paper concern the design and performance description of a microwave Dicke-type radiometer front-end polarization unit, implemented with a conventional Y-circulator and two PIN diaphragms. A numerical evaluation of the contribution of the real components on the transmission coefficient in comparison with the ideal case of a front-end of matched components without losses is presented. Results of laboratory and field testing of the front-end unit are given.
