Abstract

Noise diodes are installed in all RéxD microwave receiver systems to check broadband receiver performance required for radiometric applications, such as radio astronomy and atmospheric studies. An application to which noise sources are particularly suited is the noise-adding radiometer; another application being studied is automated system performance evaluation. In this article, noise diodes similar to those in use at Deep Space Stations 13 and 14 are evaluated for variations in noise output due to temperature.
