1. A radio frequency (RF) receiver module for sensing core body temperature, the RF receiver module being included in an RF microwave core body thermometer, the module comprising:
an RF contact-type patch antenna attached to a human part to sense the core body temperature of the human body;
an RF receiver circuit unit to receive any one RF frequency signal within a frequency range of 1 to 10 GHz except for 1.4 GHz, 1.6 GHz, 1.7 GHz, 2.6 GHz and 2.7 GHz through the RF contact-type patch antenna for sensing core body temperature and to be attached to a human body; and
an interface circuit unit for connecting the RF receiver circuit unit to a control unit of a microprocessor control unit,
wherein the interface circuit unit includes:
an A/D converter configured to receive, from the RF receiver circuit unit, an in-phase signal LO_I and its quadrature signal LO_Q of a local oscillator LO, and A/D convert the in-phase signal and its quadrature signal; and
a temperature converter configured to convert a heat radiation signal into a core body temperature inside the human body.
