This article discusses compact radio-acoustic-sounding systems (RASSs) for industrial applications. The electromagnetic-acoustic interaction enables to measure temperatures of gases without contact and spatially resolved. For this purpose, the speed of a modulated sound pulse, travelling through the gas with a velocity proportional to the temperature, is determined with a Doppler radar. The optimum sound pulse´s in terms of its frequency is discussed. The so called Bragg condition is essential

These conditions are calculated numerically and verified with real-world measurement data. One purpose of this paper is to summarize physical effects that are key elements to the function of the RASS.
