% Noise temperature of the sun.
Uses the formula t = a f^(-0.75) where a is adjusted to agree with p. 354
of the reference and the noise maximums and minimus are limited according
to the plot on p. 253. The numbers generated by this routine are approximate
and even the reference is inconsistent with its numbers. Strictly speaking,
the formula is only valid for K-band and a = 120000

Form:
[dT, t] = TSun( f, thetaE, hasPolarizer )

polarizer (1,1) 1 if has polarizer
-------
Outputs
-------
dT (1,:) Change in ambient temperature (deg-K)
t (1,:) Sun noise temperature (deg-K)
