    Setup 86 GHz

    Target band: 86.000 - 87.024

    1st LO:     93.0 GHz

    RF: LSB 5-9 GHz

    2nd LO (DBBC3): 9.048 GHz

    Sky freq:    83.952 - 88.048 GHz

    after 2nd DC 0 1024 2048 3072

    => DBBC3 should use filter1= 2000-3000

    Setup 230 GHz

    Target band: 215.000 - 216.024

    1st LO:     221.010 GHz

    RF: LSB 5-9 GHz

    2nd LO (DBBC3): 8.058 GHz

    Sky freq:    211.962 - 216.058 GHz

    after 1st DC 8058 7034 6010 4986
    after 2nd DC 0 1024 2048 3072

    => DBBC3 should use filter1 = 2000-3000

     

    DBBC3 setup

    • load normally the OCT_120 firmware
    • run dbbc3ctl.py and do check system all
    • run /home/oper/rottmann/dbbc3/utilities/setupFPT_Nov22.py dbbc3  (sets the 1GHz filters and the LO freqs)

    Modules & Recorders

    recorder2

    slot 1: EHT%0017

    slot 2: EHT%0018

    recorder3

    slot 1: EHT%0019

    slot 2: EHT%0020

     

    module setup (do on both recorders)

    Line injection test (Nov 10th)

    230 GHz signal chain

    Line freq: 5810 MHz (corresponds to 215.2 GHz sky)

    connected to boards A and B (corresponding to IF2 and IF4)

    Line is expected to appear at 2248 MHz in base band and at 200 MHz in the filtered band

    86 GHz signal chain

    Line freq 6800 MHz (corresponds to 86.2 GHz sky)

    connected to boards C and D (corresponding to IF1 and IF3)

    Line is expected to appear at 2248 MHz in base band and at 200 MHz in the filtered band
