The principles for estimating the errors of measurements of the radio brightness temperature when the background noise is compensated in radio-heat location systems for monitoring meteorological parameters are considered. A compensation signal is generated at the output of an additional antenna channel with a special shape of the radiation pattern. The results of an estimate of this error when using a two-channel dual-mode antenna in the radio-heat location system are presented.
