Remarks:

  1. Using a special external LO, frequencies down to 77 GHz can be measured with good sideband rejection. For frequencies below 77 GHz, the sideband recection becomes weaker, and the sideband ratio reaches unity at 72 GHz. [http://www.iram.fr/IRAMFR/PV/lowfreqs/report.ps.gz Test report of 2004], [http://www.iram.fr/IRAMFR/PV/lowfreqs/spectra.html Test spectra]

  2. Noise increasing with frequency
