Function Documentation

Pn_gaussian()

Pn_gaussian	(		theta,
			mean,
			FWHM )

This function calculates the normalized gaussian pattern of the antenna.

Parameters

theta	The azimuth angles.
mean	The pointing of the antenna.
FWHM	The FWHM of the antenna.

Tazimuth()

Tazimuth	(		T0,
			theta )

This function calculates the atmospheric variable depending on the azimuth.

Parameters

T0	The brightness temperature at the azimuth.
theta	The azimuth angle.
