Abstract :
The solution to the boundary-value problem required for the calculation of the effective noise temperature of planar antennas due to linear lossy inhomogeneous plasma media existing outside the antenna is presented. The resulting solution is in such a form that a computer program is readily obtained for numerical calculations when the plasma environment is assumed to be either a series of homogeneous slabs or a continuous model.
