Setup for Measurement and Characterization of Cryogenic Low-Noise Receivers
Paper in proceeding, 2024
In mm-wave and THz radio astronomy receivers, key components such as mixers, hybrids etc., needs to be fully characterized individually to ensure they fulfill requirement and specifications of various types. In this paper, we present details of a new measurement setup, built in the labs of the Group for Advanced Receiver Development (GARD) and a new underlaying software back-end for measuring, characterization and monitor any of the receiver's components. This software, called GMS GARD Measurement System, does allow several frontend graphical user interfaces (GUI) being written in different programming languages to connect and interact with the measurement setup simultaneously.
