KA Band receiver testing - October 12, 2004

The 26_40 GHz receiver testing involved observing spectra, exercising the 3 different bands available through the MM Converter module.
  • 26-30 GHz
  • 30-36 GHz
  • 36-40 GHz.
  • 800 MHz spectra covering (mostly) the whole 26-40 GHz range.


    800 MHz Spectra of W3(OH)

    W3(OH) is a strong continuum source in the 26-40 GHz range. Ott et al(1994) give S(23.78GHz) = 3.17 Jy and S(43.2GHz) = 3.72 Jy. We have taken ON/Off spectra of W3(OH) at a variety of frequencies.
