A differential radiometer for mm wavelengths

The performance of an antenna system operating at millimeter wavelengths is discussed. Results from several measurements under different test conditions are presented. The antenna was used to make observations from Antarctica of the diffuse sky emission at 94 GHz. The instrument was used with the 94...
