• Red noise generator feeding new mixer chassis.
• Box 103,104 sp0,1 were used in full stokes mode with 8192 channels.
  
• Hires spectra with decimate by 8 and 1 second integrations were taken for 3600 seconds.
• Average the data to get 12 5 minute averages.
• Normalize the 2nd thru the 12 spectra by the first 5 minute average.
• Compute the rms across frequency channels to see if the rms increased as we go farther away from the original 5 minute normalization.

• Page 1 top is first 5 minute integration used for normalization for box103sp0polA.
• Page 1 bottom: The 11 normalized spectra for box103sp0pola. The bottom spectra is 5 minutes after the normalization spectra. The top spectra is 55 minutes after the normalization spectra.
• Page 2: The rms/mean for each of the 11 normalize spectra. The horizontal axis is the minutes since the normalized spectra was taken. All spectra (box103,104,sp0,1, polA,B) are included. The dashed line is the expected rms/mean using the radiometer equation.
  

Conclusions:

• The bump from the mixer chassis in the center of the spectra is stable over time periods of 1 hour using 5 minute integrations.
