Abstract:
In this paper, the flux densities of radio frequency radiation from the quiet sun and other cosmic noise sources are presented as a function of frequency. The conversion of flux density to apparent antenna temperature is discussed. An evaluation is made of UHF radar system degradation, i.e., the reduction of radar-range capability, due to the presence of the sun, discrete radio stars and distributed noise sources in the Galaxy.
