Microwave Power From Natural Emitters
Abstract
Signal-to-noise ratio of radiometer system calculated. Publication from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory presents calculations of power radiated from natural emitter on Earth to microwave collecting aperture on aircraft or spacecraft. Analysis develops power-transfer criteria for detection of emitting object by collecting aperture (that is, by antenna and its receiver). Resulting formulas used in design of radiometer systems.
