Abstract :
The results of calculations of antenna temperature at zenith, both with and without the sun viewed as a source, are given. Horizontal path and total zenith attenuation are also calculated. Each of these calculations was made over the frequency band 150-700 GHz, using data from the 24 water-absorption lines between 150 and 1000 GHz.
