  • Abstract
    A new possible method for direct G/T measurement using satellite signals is described. A formula for calculation of G/T from Y-factor and down link EIRP measurement is developed. The potential of the method for low G/T measurement is illustrated with possible applicability to Intelsat Standard B and C and ECS earth stations. Possible disadvantages are commented on.
