What is Analyzing Lunar Noise Reception for EME about?

This document discusses the reception of noise from extended incoherent sources like the Moon. It begins by noting that when the antenna beamwidth is comparable to the angular size of the noise source, the relationship between gain and received noise level is nonlinear. The document then provides calculations and approximations to estimate the expected noise level from the Moon for antennas of different sizes. It finds that noise levels increase linearly with dish size only for very small dishes, level off
