Earth terminal measurement system operations manual (revised)
Abstract
The Earth Terminal Measurement System (ETMS) was developed to make accurate measurements of Earth terminal parameters such as the figure of merit (G/T), antenna gain relative to a peproducible reference level, the noise equivalent flux (NEF), and noise ulterior flux (NUF). This manual includes the theory of the measurements, measurement procedures, measurement troubleshooting, interpretation of the results, and a discussion of the ETMS software.
