ANT stands for various terms. Discover the full forms, meanings, and possible interpretations of ANT across different fields and industries.
A receiving antenna collects noise from radiating bodies falling within its radiation pattern. For an on-ground receiving antenna, this includes contributions from the sky and from the surroundings (the earth). The combined affect of these noise sources is modelled by an equivalent noise temperature for the antenna, which varies with elevation angle and antenna size.
