4.5cm broad band C/X secondary focus receiver (4000-9300 MHz)

This is a broad-band receiver with two orthogonal linear polarizations (at a 45°-angle with the horizon). The receiver delivers 4 basebands (each with two polarizations):

BasebandCenter FrequencyBandwidth
15.250 GHz 2500 MHz
26.750 GHz 2500 MHz
36.668 GHz 200 MHz
44.829 GHz 200 MHz

A0 = 0.9928A1 = 4.212E-4A2 = -6.158E-6Jun 2016

Comments:

  • The gain curve was corrected for opacity (though it is small, < 0.02 throughout the band).
