New Filters for the 18/21 cm Primary Focus Receiver
28-Apr-1998 / jn

The primary focus receiver at 18-23 cm again has got new filters because of strong interferences and baseline problems. For that reason the old frequency ranges changed. All frequencies can be used in the upper or lower sideband.

The symbols in OBSE are:

(They automatically set the right configuration. One should only use these definitions !)


  • FRQRX   <frequency>  [<fixed> [ <sideband> <xx>]]]

with the following definitions:
    • <frequency>:   is the observing frequency in GHz
    • <fixed>:          F if the frequency shall be fixed, otherwise it is corrected
    • <sideband>:    U for upper and L for lower sideband
    • <xx>:               if parameter present means: Take broadband (1350-1480) in overlapping region
The old symbols in OBSE for the different possible frequency-ranges are also valid:

The changed frequency-ranges are indicated in red.
