Abstract
The article presents a dual-band S + X receiving system for a mobile VLBI station. The input frequency range is 2.2–2.6 GHz in the S-band and 8.2–9.1 GHz in the X-band. The receiving system output frequency range is 0.1–1 GHz. The paper presents the receiving system’s functional diagram and the cryogenic receiving focal unit (CRFU) layout. CRFU structure and operating principle are considered. The calculated and measured characteristics of the receiving system and CRFU are presented. The control, power-supply, and telemetry system structure, composition, and operating principle are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Instruments and Experimental Techniques is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes reviews describing advanced methods for physical measurements and techniques and original articles that present techniques for physical measurements, principles of operation, design, methods of application, and analysis of the operation of physical instruments used in all fields of experimental physics and when conducting measurements using physical methods and instruments in astronomy, natural sciences, chemistry, biology, medicine, and ecology.
