It explains why the front end of each antenna is key to establishing the sensitivity, polarization, frequency diversity, and capabilities of the receiving chain and, therefore, the entire ground station. The book uses precise definitions, measurements, and calibrations of system noise temperature for the calculations based on IEEE standardsan approach that is not generally used in industry and researchwhich facilitates clarity, understanding, and cross-referencing throughout the book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the guidance of this book, readers will gain unprecedented insight into all of the major topics needed to understand how to improve a ground station''s receiving capability.
