The SKA particle array prototype: The first particle detector at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory

National Radio Astronomy Observatory

As part of an initiative to reduce the size, weight, and complexity of radio astronomy receivers and to place the conversion from analog to digital signals as close to the telescope feed as possible, a prototype single-conversion, sideband-separating mixer receiver with a tunable local oscillator (LO) between 5 and 9 GHz has been built and tested. After straightforward gain and phase calibratio...

Measurements of microwave attenuation at room temperature and 4.2 K have been performed on some conductors commonly used in receiver input circuits. The reduction in loss on cooling is substantial, particularly for copper and plated gold, both of which showed a factor of 3 loss reduction. Copper passivated with benzotriazole shows the same loss as without passivation. The residual resistivity r...

The existing waveguide interface standards are generally found to be unsatisfactory above 110 GHz. An improved interface is proposed which is backward-compatible with the MIL-DTL-3922/67C standard and most of its higher-frequency variants. As there are currently no standard waveguide bands above 325 GHz, an extended set of bands is recommended for operation to 1100 GHz. Index Terms — Waveguides...
