Abstract
One purpose of this article is to develop the theory of black body radiation, thermal noise, and quantum noise from a few basic physical principles. A second purpose is to show how these results apply to certain areas such as antenna theory and ideal receivers. It is hoped that having this related material collected and presented in the language of the electronics engineer will be of tutorial value.Keywords
