A CRYOGENIC TWO MILLIMETER RECEIVER SYSTEM

  • Published : 1994.12.01

Abstract

Since we finished the purchase of the cooled Schottky diode mixer receiver made by Radiometer Physics Co. for the 120-170GHz range in October 1991, we have not prepared the PPL hardware and software for this receiver and the ellipsolidal mirror for beam guiding. After these problems were solved, this receiver was installed at the 14m telescope in late December 1993, and used for the confirmation of a spectral line detection and the measurement of the beam efficiency. The beam efficiency is about 36% at 146 GHz.
