| Abstract: | The Fermilab Large Cold Blackbody Test Stand can be used to expose a microwave receiver and horn assembly to a large blackbody at cryogenic temperatures (as low as 20 K). The temperature of the blackbody can be varied while keeping the receiver temperature constant, facilitating Y-factor measurements of the receiver noise temperature and gain. The test stand has recently been used for studying a QUIET-I receiver module. The test stand will be used to measure both QUIET-I and prototype QUIET-II modules. |
