Main beam predictions


These predictions obtain for the feeds placed in the specified position (see feed specification). The optical system is designed so that this will obtain when MAP is at L2 and cold. The system is out of focus for all the testing though this is not a large effect.

All mapping is organized into the five frequency bands.

The designations of +/- 45 degrees were done BEFORE the curlique waveguides in the FPA were decided upon. Thus, they do not necessarily correspond to the final orientations on the sky

  •   K-band response
  •   Ka-band response
  •   Q1-band response
  •   Q2-band response
  •   V1-band response
  •   V2-band response
  •   W1-band response
  •   W2-band response
  •   W3-band response
  •   W4-band response
  • It is interesting to compare the response of the W-band upper and lower positions. A comparative spectral analysis of the predictions for W2 and W4.
