Comments: (1) HERA2 pixels 4 and 9 are instable and should be flagged in data processing. <CK 9-May-2014>
HERA is a heterodyne receiver array consisting of two arrays of 3x3 pixels with 24" spacing. The two arrays have orthogonal polarization (V, H) the two polarizations pointing at identical locations on the sky. HERA is equipped with a derotator allowing to follow a source in the sky maintaining the same "footprint". Over the range of tunable frequencies, the beamwidth varies between 12" and 9".

- It is not possible to simultaneously observe with HERA and any of the other frontends.
- The alignment of the two polarisations is described in the HERA manual.
Nasmyth offsets are described in the report on the commissioning of New Optics installed in April 2015.
- HERA mixers are single-sideband mixers. The image sideband is rejected (see above table).
- The nominal bandwidth is 1 GHz.
- HERA has two local oscillators, one for each polarization. Simultaneous observations of e.g. the 12CO and 13CO 2-1 lines are hence possible with both polarisations. Note that, in addition, the C18O 2-1 line lies within the 1GHz bandpass next to the 13CO line.
