T~ = 0.6(275) + 0.4(185) = 239 K<br />

A more exact determination involves weighting each incremental<br />

area in the antenna beam by the appropriate off-boresight antenna<br />

gain. The additional accuracy is usually not necessary, however,<br />

since current satellite receiver noise temperatures are typically<br />

1000 K or higher, and the incremental difference in the total system<br />

noise temperature would likely be very small.<br />
