Cryogenic 1.2 to 116 GHz Receiver for Large Arrays

Paper i proceeding, 2018

Current and future large arrays for radio astronomy are compared and the Next Generation Very Large Array, ngVLA, is introduced. Receiver requirements are described and a 4-feed system covering 1.2 to 116 GHz, in a single vacuum cryogenic enclosure is presented followed by description of the reflector optics, the wide-band feeds, and the expected system performance
