antenna noise temperature
Antenna noise temperature
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In telecommunication, antenna noise temperature is the temperature of a hypothetical resistor at the input of an ideal noise-free receiver that would generate the same output noise power per unit bandwidth as that at the antenna output at a specified frequency.
Antenna noise temperature has contributions from several sources:
- Galactic radiation
- Earth heating
- The sun
- Electrical devices
- The antenna itself
Galactic noise is high below 1000 MHz. At around 150 MHz, it is approximately 1000K. At 2500 MHz, it has leveled off to around 10K.
Earth has an accepted standard temperature of 290K.
The level of the sun's contribution depends on the solar flux. It is given by
- where
is the solar flux,
is the wavelength,
- and
is the gain of the antenna in decibels.
The antenna noise temperature depends on antenna coupling to all noise sources in its environment as well as on noise generated within the antenna. That is, in a directional antenna, the portion of the noise source that the antenna's main and side lobes intersect contribute proportionally.
For example, a satellite antenna may not receive noise contribution from the earth in its main lobe, but sidelobes will contribute a portion of the 290K earth noise to its overall noise temperature.
ITS MY BE USE FOR U
Wires and connections praneeth kumar 456 | ||
Component | Circuit Symbol | Function of Component |
Wire | To pass current very easily from one part of a circuit to another. | |
Wires joined | A 'blob' should be drawn where wires are connected (joined), but it is sometimes omitted. Wires connected at 'crossroads' should be staggered slightly to form two T-junctions, as shown on the right. | |
Wires not joined | In complex diagrams it is often necessary to draw wires crossing even though they are not connected. I prefer the 'bridge' symbol shown on the right because the simple crossing on the left may be misread as a join where you have forgotten to add a 'blob'! |
Power Supplies praneeth kumar456 | ||
Component | Circuit Symbol | Function of Component |
Cell | Supplies electrical energy. The larger terminal (on the left) is positive (+). A single cell is often called a battery, but strictly a battery is two or more cells joined together. | |
Battery | Supplies electrical energy. A battery is more than one cell. The larger terminal (on the left) is positive (+). | |
DC supply | Supplies electrical energy. DC = Direct Current, always flowing in one direction. | |
AC supply | Supplies electrical energy. AC = Alternating Current, continually changing direction. | |
Fuse | A safety device which will 'blow' (melt) if the current flowing through it exceeds a specified value. | |
Transformer | Two coils of wire linked by an iron core. Transformers are used to step up (increase) and step down (decrease) AC voltages. Energy is transferred between the coils by the magnetic field in the core. There is no electrical connection between the coils. | |
Earth (Ground) |
A connection to earth. For many electronic circuits this is the 0V (zero volts) of the power supply, but for mains electricity and some radio circuits it really means the earth. It is also known as ground. |

On-Off Switch (SPST) |
SPST = Single Pole, Single Throw. An on-off switch allows current to flow only when it is in the closed (on) position. | |
2-way Switch (SPDT) |

Dual On-Off Switch (DPST) |
DPST = Double Pole, Single Throw. A dual on-off switch which is often used to switch mains electricity because it can isolate both the live and neutral connections. | |
Reversing Switch (DPDT) |
DPDT = Double Pole, Double Throw. This switch can be wired up as a reversing switch for a motor. Some DPDT switches have a central off position. | |
Relay | An electrically operated switch, for example a 9V battery circuit connected to the
coil can switch a 230V AC mains circuit. NO = Normally Open, COM = Common, NC = Normally Closed. |
Resistors praneeth kumar 456 | ||

Variable Resistor (Preset) |
This type of variable resistor (a preset) is operated with a small screwdriver or similar tool. It is designed to be set when the circuit is made and then left without further adjustment. Presets are cheaper than normal variable resistors so they are often used in projects to reduce the cost. |
