  • I am trying to calculate Tsys for my 1.2m dish with Norsat 9000LDF LNB at 22GHz for water masers. Using SDR Sharp Signal Diagnostics I have obtained power level (amplitude really of 1.72 dB). I understand cold sky temp at 22 dB is 40K. Have I put the 1.72dB in right place and are results reasonable?
