... LO frequencies were 1/2, 1/3 and 1/8 of signal frequency 75 GHz. ... But single junction SIS mixer has 30 dB input signal power range only [ll and it may decrease at high frequencies more than 200 GHz due to Josephson and 1 "switching" noise rise [2 e Our experiments show that subhurmonically pumped SIS mixer may have improved saturation power and reduced noise at high frequencies in some operation modes. ... 269 Fig.2 Quantum for LO and signal frequencies SIS operating mode. ...

The aim of this section of the course is to enable you to use simple computer programs to solve a variety of common astronomical tasks. ... I have (somewhat arbitrarily) decided to use Python for this course, because it seems to be gaining popularity fast for astronomical data handling, and because some of you will have encountered it at the ATNF course. ...

Q: Are the magnitudes in the ETCs AB or Vega magnitudes? ... Q: How is the signal to noise defined? A: In optical and infrared imaging, the applications display a signal to noise over the PSF area, which is computed in a circle of radius seeing/plate_scale. ... In optical imaging only, a second signal to noise is computed which is the signal to noise at the central pixel. ... A: The template spectra stored in the database are measured or simulated spectra covering different wavelength range. ...
