Comments

This is a tunable single sideaband superheterodyne system fo line and total power observations. For frequency dependent receiver and calibration temperatures see diagramm below. The Receiver provides two horns for beam switching. The geometric distance of the horns is d = 9,7 mm, the beam seperation at sky is 55 Arcsec.

This system is part of the Primary Focus Multi Frequency Box #1 (PM 1).
