Abstract
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- to-noise-temperature (G/T) values for the Tracking and Data Relay Sate llite (TDRS) satellite is described. The statistics of the G/T values are determined by a Monte Carlo simulation of the orbital geometry of the sun and moon, and the gain and noise temperature calculations is i ncluded. The results and their underlying assumptions are described.
