Project Statue:
Basic expressions of the antenna's performance in a system have
been derived. A performance factor will ultimately'be defined in terms
of a total systems noise figure, which will consider the effective
atmospheric noise (using Chrichlow'e/NBS curves) pre-amp transmission
line' and receiver noise. A few curves of the antenna's effective gain
in different noise environments have been plotted.
