====== 2.2cm/2.5cm prime focus receiver (12100-12280 MHz/12900-13600 MHz) ====== This is a 2-channel system used for spectroscopy. The 2.5cm part is realized by a new filter. The calibration parameters are still somewhat uncertain (about 10%). The lower part of the band at 12.1 GHz is affected by RFI from TV satellites which might also explain the higher Tsys. ==== Calibration Information ==== ^ Frequency [GHz] ^ Channel ^ Polarisation ^ Tcal [K] ^ Tsys [K] ^ Sensitivity [K/Jy] ^ SEFD [Jy] ^ Aperture Eff.

In addition for most receivers with narrow line channels the cables at the patch board need to be connected by the receiver group. To select different channel numbers in OBSINP, the online plot, or the toolbox the numbers have to be specified like c(1)+c(2) to add channel 1 and 2. E.g. channel 1 and 2 contain the LCP and RCP broadband channels, then "OnlPlot pen='c(1)+c(2)'" or "toolbox use='c(1)+c(2)'" will select these channels. In OBSINP the pen can be directly specified in the receiver selection menu.
