Abstract
DSN receiver thermal noise is a component of the Doppler jitter noise measured during DSN system testing. This thermal noise has been modelled theoretically through an evolution of approximations over a period of 20 years. The model is required to predict the expected test result. This article compares the two latest and most accurate models in order to determine if changes in the test algorithm are required for desired accuracy, Also introduced is a new and highly simplified model that exhibits differentials of the same order as the more complicated algorithms. The study concluded that the three models are indistinguishable within the nominal operating range of the receivers.
