Integrated calibration noise coupler for room temperature SKA band 1 feed system
Paper i proceeding, 2017

This paper presents design of a novel coupler for the injection of calibration signal into the RF path of the SKA Band 1 quad-ridged flared horn, covering frequencies from 350–1050 MHz. The coupler is integrated in the feed horn and provides a coupling factor of −35 dB. The calibration signal is injected before the first amplification stage, without any degradation in the noise performance of the room temperature system.
