Development of a new wideband heterodyne receiver system for the Osaka 1.85-m mm-submm telescope -- Receiver development & the first light of simultaneous observation in 230GHz and 345GHz bands with an SIS-mixer with 4-21GHz IF output
Sho Masui, Yasumasa Yamasaki, Hideo Ogawa +22
We have developed a wideband receiver system for simultaneous observations in CO lines of J = 2-1 and J = 3-2 transitions using the Osaka 1.85-m mm-submm telescope. As a frequency…
Observational demonstration of a low-cost fast Fourier transform spectrometer with a delay-line-based ramp-compare ADC implemented on FPGA
Atsushi Nishimura, Takeru Matsumoto, Teppei Yonetsu +5
In this study, a novel type of Fourier transform radio spectrometer (termed as all-digital radio spectrometer; ADRS) has been developed in which all functionalities comprising a ra…
Wavefront sensor for millimeter/submillimeter-wave adaptive optics based on aperture-plane interferometry
