The aim of this paper is to measure the characteristics properties of 3 m radio telescope that installed
inside Baghdad University campus. The measurements of this study cover some of the fundamental parameters
at 1.42 GHz. These parameters concentrated principally on, the system noise temperature, signal to noise ratio
and sensitivity, half power beam width, aperture efficiency, and effective area. These parameters are estimated
via different radio sources observation like Cas-A, full moon, sky background, and solar drift scan
observations. From the results of these observations, these parameters are found to be approximately 64 K, 1.2,
0.9 Jansky, 3.7°, 0.54, and 3.8 m2 respectively. The parameters values have vital affect to quantitativ
