The ratio, usually expressed in dB/K, of the antenna gain to the noise at the receiver output of the antenna subsystem. The noise is expressed as the temperature that a 1 ohm resistor must be raised to produce the same noise power density. 1, record 1, English, - gain%2Dto%2Dnoise%20temperature%20ratio

Rapport, habituellement exprimé en dBK, entre le gain de l'antenne et le bruit à la sortie du récepteur dans le sous-système d'antennes. Le bruit est exprimé sous la forme de la température à laquelle il faut élever une résistance de 1 ohm pour produire la même densité spectrale de bruit. 1, record 1, French, - rapport%20gain%2Ftemp%C3%A9rature%20de%20bruit
