Calibration reference loads
• Two reference temperatures with a T 150 K,
one of them close to sky the temperature
Peltier element - not possible to get below – 50 ºC
Noise diode - only 4 dB ENR
Sterling cooler
Cool a microwave absorber to below 150 K.
Stabilize the temperature of the absorber to < 0.05 K
Absorber reflectivity > 30 dB at 183 GHz.
Maintenance free time 10 years.
