Spillover Control on Secondary Mirror Support Struts
نویسنده
چکیده
Scattering of ambient radiation into receivers by secondary mirror supports can potentially degrade performance of radiotelescopes. A geometry for the support struts with slanted planar faces to keep scattering sidelobes close to the antenna pointing direction is analyzed. Scattering of the plane wave is within ~15o of boresight, while the spherical wave scattering is within ~1o of boresight. Less than 0.5 K additional noise is predicted. Some other contributions to the antenna noise are also discussed.

An Investigation into the Performance of Excavation with Inclined Struts Connected to Adjacent Buildings
One practical excavation support system is the inclined struts connected to adjacent buildings. This method is very common in small excavations, because of simplicity and minimum cost, when soil is cohesive and depth of excavation is less than stability depth (Hcr) but adjacent structures is at risk of damage due to weakness, old age or lack of proper skeleton frame. Although this method ...

In knowledge-based economy, knowledge has a public good and non-rivalry nature. Firms build their own knowledge stock not only by means of internal R&D and collaboration with partners, but also by means of previously spilled over knowledge of other firms and public research laboratories (such as universities). Firms based on their absorptive capacity, and level of intra-industry and extra-indus...
