The system temperature

Figure: Top: Summer (red) and Winter (blue) semester for different precipitable water vapor (PWV) amount and for a source at zenith. The numbers indicate PWV values assumed in the computation. Middle: Assumed forward effiencies in the computation. Bottom: Assumed receiver temperatures in the computation. This version is for the single band mode.

Figure: Same as Fig. , but for the dual band mode.

Figure: Top: Minimum and maximum obtained in the intermediate frequency bandwidth as a function of the local oscillator frequency used in the tuning. Middle: Assumed forward effiencies in the computation. Bottom: Assumed receiver temperatures in the computation. This version is for the single band mode.

Figure: Same as Fig. , but for the dual band mode.

Figure: Top: Averaged “continuum” as a function of the local oscillator frequency used in the tuning. Middle: Assumed forward effiencies in the computation. Bottom: Assumed receiver temperatures in the computation. This version is for the single band mode.

Figure: Same as Fig. , but for the dual band mode.
