Issue Date: | 2016 | Volume: | IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation 2016 | First Page: | 1195 | Abstract: | The ALMA telescope is one of the largest on-ground astronomical projects in the world. It has been producing great scientific results since the beginning of operations in 2011. Of all the originally planned bands, band 2 (67-90 GHz) is the last band to be implemented into the array. Recent technological progress has open the possibility to combine bands 2 and 3 (84-116 GHz) into a single wideband receiver. This paper describes the first efforts to design wideband optics which cover both bands, from 67 to 116 GHz, using a profiled corrugated horn and a modified Fresnel lens. First measurements were performed at ESO in Dec15-Jan16 and showed good agreement with simulations. | Conference Name: | 2016 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and North American Radio Science Meeting | Conference Place: | Fajardo, Puerto Rico | Conference Date: | June 26 - July 1, 2016 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/24403 | URL: | https://doi.org/10.1109/APS.2016.7696305 | ISBN: | 978-1-5090-2886-3 | DOI: | 10.1109/APS.2016.7696305 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016isap.conf.1195G | Fulltext: | open |
