Abstract
A radiometric complex for astronomical and atmospheric research in the 3-mm wavelength range has been developed. The radiometer is assembled according to the modulation scheme with a mechanical obturator based on oversized quasi-optical waveguides. A Cassegrain antenna with 1° far-field pattern at a −3 dB level is used as the antenna system. Calibration is carried out using a built-in noise generator. The receiving system of the radiometer, together with the antenna, is placed on a two-coordinate turntable for observations in a selected region of the celestial sphere. Control, as well as capture and processing of experimental data, are performed remotely using the developed software.
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.
