Design Considerations for a GBT 68-92 GHz Receiver
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scientific motivation for equipping the GBT with receivers for the 3mm band (68-116 GHz) has been discussed in several memos [1]-[3], and later presented in a proposal by the GBT 3mm Receiver Working Group [4]. It was decided that the first receiver module to be built should be capable of both continuum detection and spectroscopy in the 68-92 GHz band (Module 1). Other frequencies and capabilities in the 3mm band will follow soon after.

The strongest interfering signals received in the passband of the Green Bank Telescope’s (GBT) 1.15-1.7 GHz receiver are radar pulses at 1256 and 1292 MHz. These pulses are transmitted by an ARSR-3 FAA Air Surveillance Radar on Apple Orchard Mountain near Bedford, VA, longitude 79.510W, latitude 37.517N, elevation 1288 meters (4225 feet). This radar antenna is about 106 km south-southeast of th...
متن کاملEffective Design of a 3×4 Two Dimensional Distributed Amplifier Based on Gate Line Considerations
In this paper two dimensional wave propagation is used for power combining in drain nodes of a distributed amplifier (DA). The proposed two dimensional DA uses an electrical funnel to add the currents of drain nodes. The proposed structure is modified due to gate lines considerations. Total gain improvement is achieved by engineering the characteristic impedance of gate lines and also make appr...

متن کاملDetection of 13 C Isotopomers of Molecule HC 7
The 13 C substitutions of molecule HC 7 N were observed in TMC-1 using the J = 12 − 11, J = 13 − 12 rotational transitions in the frequency range 12.4 to 13.6 GHz. We present the first detection the 13 C isotopic species of HC 7 N in the interstellar medium, based on the average of a number of weak rotational transitions. This paper describes the calibration and data averaging process that is a...
