Hi freq system performance after reflector adjustments

feb 2005

     The primary, secondary, and tertiary reflectors were adjusted on :
 
 
reflector adjustment dates
primary nov04 to jan05
secondary 7jun04 to 29jun04
tertiary 12octo4 to 30oct04

The primary and secondary had undergone a previous round of adjustments. The tertiary had not been looked at since it was on the ground prior to installation in the dome.
 

High frequency calibration data taken 01dec04 through 05feb05 was used to see how well the system was performing. Data from cb,cbh,xband was used. The plots show the system performance for the high frequency receivers: (.ps)  (.pdf): The first 3 figures plot the gain, Tsys, SEFD, and FWHM beam width (in asecs) vs zenith angle for each receiver.

The table below shows the median values for each frequency (limiting the za range 5 to 14 degrees).
