Aerospace Corporation International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 08-11, 1968 / Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, California One of the major problems confronting a telemetry receiving station is that of self calibration, particularly an end-to-end calibration, on a frequent and routine basis. For this purpose an external signal source is needed, preferably one in the far field of the antenna. The sun is such a source for L- and S-band systems--its usefulness depends on knowledge of its emission at the time it is used, since it is a variable source. Examined here are the characteristics of the sun as a source of electromagnetic energy in the 10 centimeter region, and the methods by which it could be used to determine receiving system noise temperature. Limitations of the methods are also described. 1968-10 text Proceedings 0884-5123 0074-9079 http://hdl.handle.net/10150/606536 http://arizona.openrepository.com/arizona/handle/10150/606536 International Telemetering Conference Proceedings en_US http://www.telemetry.org/ Copyright © International Foundation for Telemetering International Foundation for Telemetering
