Modern millimeter and submillimeter receiver systems for radio astronomy

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

In this review we consider the composition and placement of receiver complexes on millimeter and submillimeter wave radio telescopes as well as their components and circuitry. Examples of receiver complexes are given for both ground-based and space radio telescopes.
