Abstract
In the context of the PON funding called “Enhancement of the Sardinia Radio Telescope for the study of the Universe at the higher radio frequencies” the realization of 3-band receivers (K band (18-26 GHz), Q band (34-50 GHz) and W band (80-116 GHz)) for the three main Italian radio-telescopes, SRT, Medicina and Noto is foreseen. The design and construction of the receivers are under Korean Institute KASI’s (Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute) responsibility. The scope of this technical document is to report the main receiver parameters behavior computed with MATLAB simulations software. Thanks to the receiver components measurement files and to the RF tools of MATLAB it was possible to simulate the gain, the noise figure (and noise temperature) and the output power of the chains of the three receivers. These simulations can be useful to compare the estimation of the receivers at the CDR level to the real built receivers also for a better integration of the receivers with the FBCB (Full Band Conversion Board)
