Characteristics Measurement of Baghdad University Radio Telescope for Hydrogen Emission Line

EasyChair Preprint no. 2037

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to measure characteristics of 3 m radio telescope that installed inside Baghdad University campus. The measurements of this study cover some of the receiver and antenna parameters at 1.42 GHz. The receiver parameters concentrated on, the system noise temperature, signal to noise ratio and sensitivity parameters. While the antenna parameters are the half power beam width, aperture efficiency, and effective area. From the results of this study, these parameters are found to be approximately 64 K, 1.2, 0.9 Jansky, 3.7°, 0.54, and 3.8 m2 respectively. All these measured values showed perfect correlation with theoretical values.

Keyphrases: aperture efficiency, Half Power Beam width, Hydrogen line emission, radio telescope, sensitivity, system noise temperature
