Abstract: This paper is concerned with the relations between measured noise voltages or currents at the terminals of short antennas and the temperature of the radiation field to which the antenna is exposed. The variations in these relations due to the presence of a very simple ionosphere surrounding the antenna is considered. The theory is applied to the experimental measurements of sky brightness at 3.8 Mc/s by Molozzi, Franklin and Tyas.
