The microwave spectrum of Venus is reviewed in light of new laboratory measurements of the microwave-absorbing properties of its gaseous atmospheric constituents under simulated conditions for the Venus atmosphere. The laboratory measurements in the wavelength range 1.2 - 22.3 cm show that gaseous H2SO4 and CO2 are the predominant microwave absorbers at wavelengths longer than 1.8 cm, and that SO2 and CO2 are the predominant absorbers at wavelengths from 1.2 to 1.8 cm. These measurements are also used in the development of a new model for the Venus microwave emission spectrum.
