Abstract
Large increases in the system operating noise temperature, T , occur when water op collects on Deep Space Network (DSN) antenna and microwave feed-system components. This article describes measurements made at 8.4 GHz (X-band) to assess the efiects of water on the critical antenna components. It also describes the measurement results of improvements in performance achieved by the use of techniques or procedures developed to reduce the efiects of water on critical components.
