The dichroic penalty on the receiver temperature was measured in the
lab. The extra temperature was then fitted as a linear contribution
with frequency (band 1) and a Gaussian bump (band 3, see
figure
). The impact on the
is
shown in figures
(line
) and
(continuum
).
Figure:
Fit of the receiver temperature added by the presence of the
dual band dichroic on the optical path. The blue/red curves show the
data for a LSB and USB LO tuning, respectively. The two curves per
frequency and color show the measured results for the two
polarizations.
