Wideband 67-116 GHz receiver development for ALMA Band 2

P. Yagoubov, T. Mroczkowski, V. Belitsky +43

ALMA has been operating since 2011, but has not yet been populated with the full suite of intended frequency bands. In particular, ALMA Band 2 (67-90 GHz) is the final band in the…

An ultra-wide bandwidth (704 to 4032 MHz) receiver for the Parkes radio telescope

G. Hobbs, R. N. Manchester, A. Dunning +69

We describe an ultra-wide-bandwidth, low-frequency receiver ("UWL") recently installed on the Parkes radio telescope. The receiver system provides continuous frequency coverage fro…

Understanding the HERA Phase I receiver system with simulations and its impact on the detectability of the EoR delay power spectrum

Nicolas Fagnoni, Eloy de Lera Acedo, David R. DeBoer +67

The detection of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) delay power spectrum using a "foreground avoidance method" highly depends on the instrument chromaticity. The systematic effects in…
