The physical background of the water vapour radiometer (WVR) method is presented and seven different types of WVR are described in detail. The expected accuracies of wet path delays vary with the local climate as well as with instrumental errors and the operating frequencies of the WVR. It is shown that errors in the wet path delay for zenith observations range from 0.4 to 0.9 cm rms for optimum WVR frequencies and instrumental errors of 0.5 K rms. Two different WVR designs - one with high accuracy and one with low cost (but less accurate) - are proposed for the ESA POPSAT system.
