Abstract
The G/T peak performance maintainability of a satellite terminal requires repeated monitoring in easy and operation-friendly way. The feasibility of sun as a noise source for G/T monitoring of the S-band terminals is discussed. Further, G/T determination of the small terminals using Y factor comparison is proposed, and validated with experimental results. For quick assessment of G/T, nomograms are given here.
