====== 2cm double beam secondary focus receiver (12000-18000 MHz) ======

This receiver replaced the old 2cm secondary focus system. It is a two horn system for continuum, spectroscopy and VLBI observations. The system is currently tested and all values are preliminary. \\
**Note, that for technical reasons, no spectroscopic frequency-switch observations are possible!**

**Comments:**
   * Note that the system temperature at this frequency depends strongly on weather conditions! 
   * Zenith tau values can range from ??? to ???. 

==== Version description for OBSINP ====

^ RX Name ^ Wavelength [cm] ^ Frequency (center) [GHz] ^ Nr. of Horns ^
| **S20mm Double Beam RX ** | 2.0 | 12.0-18.0 (15.0) | 2 | 
| **Version:** |   **Comment**   |||
|1. Continuum (BW: 2 GHz) | Broad Band Continuum |||
| **Horn offsets** [arcsec]| Horn 1:TBD; 2:TBD |||


==== Receiver Bands ====

The receiver delivers the data in two 2.5GHz-wide IF-subbands, which can be shifted in to cover the 12-18 GHz range.

==== Spectroscopy modes and resolution ====
=== Low-res mode (2 basebands for each of 2 feeds and 2 polarizations) ===
**Note, that due to technical reasons the LSR correction has to be applied via software (regridding). This will decrease the effective spectral resolution to some degree.**
