SEPIA345: a dual polarization 2SB cartridge receiver for APEX telescope: Design and Performance
Paper in proceeding, 2022

A new receiver channel covering the 271-377 GHz frequency band has been installed into the SEPIA receiver at the APEX telescope. The receiver channel was designed and built in an ALMA-compatible cartridge layout. The receiver has a dual polarization layout with OMT and employs 2SB SIS mixers featuring an extended 4-12 GHz IF band, providing 32 GHz instantaneous IF bandwidth for two polarizations and two sidebands.
