In this paper, I investigate a possibility to detect a brown dwarf companion in a protoplanetary disk based on spectral energy distribution (SED) profile analysis. I present synthetic spectral energy distributions of protoplanetary disks with and without an embedded companion that clears a gap. The computations are performed for a star (0.8 M⊙) and a substellar companion (30 MJ) at an age of 5 Myr embedded in a protoplanetary disk, located at a distance 100 pc from the Sun. Analysis of the SED profile shape indicates that the maximum difference between the fluxes of the systems with and without the companion is ≈ 0.43 Jy at 34 μm.
