In radio astronomy it is common to use noise temperatures rather than power, via the relation:
T=P/(k*B)
T=P/(k*B)
Where:
T is the noise temperature in Kelvin
P is power in Watts
k is Boltzmann's constant
B is bandwidth in Hertz
- T is the noise temperature in Kelvin
- P is power in Watts
- k is Boltzmann's constant
- B is bandwidth in Hertz
Similarly, for low frequencies (where the Rayleigh-Jeans approximation is valid), brightness temperatures are used rather than intensity:
Tb=e*Iv*c^2/(2k*v^2)
Tb=e*Iv*c^2/(2k*v^2)
Where:
Tb is the brightness temperature in Kelvin
e is the emissivity of the source
Iv is the intensity of the source (power per unit solid angle at the frequency v)
c is the speed of light
v is the frequency in Hertz
- Tb is the brightness temperature in Kelvin
- e is the emissivity of the source
- Iv is the intensity of the source (power per unit solid angle at the frequency v)
- c is the speed of light
- v is the frequency in Hertz
This can be convenient, as if a large astronomical source completely fills the antenna beam with a uniform brightness temperature,
there will be an equal increase in the noise temperature measured by the receiver.

This displays the value of sigma Tsys0, which is the standard deviation / RMS of Tsys0, and gives an indication of the sensitivity. It is calculated as:
