In electronics, noise temperature is one way of expressing the level of available noise power introduced by a component or source. The power spectral density of the noise is expressed in terms of the temperature (in kelvins) that would produce that level of Johnson–Nyquist noise, thus: PN/B=kBT where: PN is the noise power (in W, watts) B is the total bandwidth (Hz, hertz) over which that noise power is measured kB is the Boltzmann constant (1.381×10⁻²³ J/K, joules per kelvin) T is the noise temperature (K, kelvin) Thus the noise temperature is proportional to the power spectral density of the noise, PN/B.
A waveguidereceiver apparatus includes a power splitter circuit with an attenuation card; a mixer circuit coupled to an output of the power splitter circuit; and an antenna assembly coupled to an output of the mixer circuit. The aspects of the disclosed embodiments provide a highly compact and sensitive 500-600 GHz, 1×8 receiver array, with a conversion loss of less than approximately 11 decibels (dB), a noise temperature of less than 2000 degrees Kelvin (K) at 540 GHz, and a wide intermediate frequency (IF) bandwidth of approximately 70 Gigahertz (GHz).
