The invention discloses a method and device for measuring material 
radiance based on a 
millimeter wave. The method includes the steps that (10), high temperature material measurement is performed, specifically, the 
radiation characteristics and temperature of a 
black body material are measured by the 
millimeter wave; (20), low temperature material measurement is performed, specifically, the 
radiation characteristics and temperature of 
liquid nitrogen are measured by the 
millimeter wave; (30) target material measurement is performed, specifically, the 
radiation characteristics and temperature of a target material is measured by the millimeter wave; (40), 
antenna temperature calibration is performed, specifically, the temperature of the 
black body material and the temperature of the 
liquid nitrogen are used for calibrating the 
antenna temperature; and (50), radiation 
brightness temperature inversion is performed, specifically, the 
radiance of the target material is obtained by inversionbased on the 
antenna temperature. The device includes an antenna (1) with a 
wave band of 3mm / 8mm, a 
radio frequency low noise amplifier (2), a 
detector (3), a 
low frequency amplifier (4), a 
thermometer module (5), a calibration device (6) and a 
data processing module (7). According to the method and device for measuring the material 
radiance based on the millimeter wave, the 
system size is small,operation is simple and measurement is fast and accurate.
