Abstract :
Antenna noise temperatures for a radiometer and two different corrugated horns is estimated through integration of the total radiation patterns of the radiometer and the sky and ground brightness temperatures. Interesting results for both horns and data to improve the radiometer performance can be extracted from this paper.
