摘要

With a 100-meter aperture, and recent improvements to its surface accuracy and servo system upgrades, the Robert C.Byrd Green Bank Telescope is the most sensitive telescope operating at 90 GHz. A dual-feed heterodyne receiver isdeveloped for observations at the lower frequency end of the 3-4mm atmospheric window (67 to 93 GHz). The sciencegoals are primarily molecular spectroscopic studies of star formation and astrochemistry both internal and external to theMilky Way galaxy. Studies of the structural and physical properties of star-forming, cold-cloud cores will berevolutionized with molecular spectroscopy of the deuterium and other important species within the band. Essential forspectroscopy is the ability to remove slow gain and atmospheric variations. An optical table external to the cooledcomponents rotates into the path of either beam an ambient temperature load, an offset mirror for viewing an internalcold load, or a quarter-wave plate that produces circular polarization for VLBI observations. A composite waveguidewindow comprised of HDPE, Zitex, and z-cut quartz provides a high-strength, low-loss medium for transmission of thesignal to the cooled corrugated feed horn. An orthomode transducer separates the polarization components which areamplified by low noise HEMT amplifiers. Warm W-band MMIC amplifiers are required to compensate a negative gainslope and to reduce noise contributions from the down conversion to the GBT IF frequencies. Initial science results andreceiver performance during commissioning observations will be presented along with details of the component design.© (2012) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
