A study of the distribution of gain-to-noise-temperature (G/T) values
for the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) satellite is describe
d. The statistics of the G/T values are determined by a Monte Carlo si
mulation of the orbital geometry of the sun and moon, and the gain and
noise temperature calculations is included. The results and their und
erlying assumptions are described.A study of the distribution of gain-
