ABCD dual polarisation receivers (till mid March 2009)

  • Eight single pixel receivers A,B,C,D are installed in the receiver cabin. It is planned to replace them by EMIR in mid March 2009.

  • Four of the 8 A,B,C,D receivers can be used simultaneously. HERA cannot be combined with other receivers.

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. Test report of 2004, Test spectra

  2. Noise increasing with frequency
