| Abstract: | An atmospheric noise temperature and attenuation model at microwave frequencies has been developed for use at NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) antenna locations at Goldstone, California; Canberra, Australia; and Madrid, Spain. This model covers the frequency range 1 - 45 GHz, elevation angles of 90 degrees down to 0.5 degrees using a round-Earth model, and cumulative distributions of noise temperature and attenuation from 0% to 99%. The effects of oxygen, water vapor, and liquid water (clouds) are considered. The effects of rain are not considered. The model is based on a number of years of actual atmospheric noise temperature measurements at a frequency of 31.4 GHz, at the three DSN antenna locations. |
