We describe an instrumental complex based on high-Q open Fabry–Perot resonators for the frequency band 36–370 GHz and present original measurement techniques and the latest results of measuring (i) refractive indices and losses of modern high-quality dielectrics for high-power electronics (with prognosis for up to the terahertz band) and general-purpose dielectrics including films, (ii) reflectivities of both antenna reflectors of cryogenic-receiver radiotelescopes and the so-called “hot” antennas for future Mercurian missions, and (iii) the atmospheric absorption for the development of high-precision wave-propagation models including the continuum absorption. The instrumentation and the measurement techniques are intended for studying condensed-media parameters at temperatures 80–900 K and atmospheric parameters at temperatures from −40°C to +60°C and humidities from 0 to 80%.
