Abstract

The main principles of operation and design features of a wideband receiving system developed at the Institute of Applied Astronomy, Russian Academy of Sciences, are described. This system operates on orthogonal linear polarizations in the 3–16 GHz band with an output-frequency bandwidth of 2 GHz. The results of measurements of the parameters of the receiving system and the characteristics of the RT-13 radio telescope equipped with the receiving system developed are presented.
