  • Abstract
    The ultimate limit on receiver sensitivity is random noise. In the microwave region where atmospheric and man-made noise are negligible, this elemental random noise comes from thermal agitation and from electron devices. It can be shown that the irreducible minimum noise level is proportional to the effective system bandwidth.
