Les radiomètres à hyperfréquences peuvent être utilisés au sol ou à partir d'une plate-forme aéroportée ou spatiale. Les composantes d'un radiomètre à hyperfréquences sont : l'antenne, le système récepteur formé par un amplificateur, le détecteur et le filtre passe-bas (aussi appelé intégrateur par quelques auteurs) et le système d'affichage ou d'enregistrement des données. À cela, il faut ajouter un générateur d'ondes quand le radiomètre est utilisé en mode actif comme diffusomètre. 5, record 1, French, - radiom%C3%A8tre%20hyperfr%C3%A9quences
