Description

A new Tri-band receiver would advantageously replace Onsala's 20m telescope existing millimeter wave single-pixel receivers within the K,Q and W frequency bands, having next-generation performance, IF bandwidth, and sampling capabilities. The receiver system will support both Astro VLBI observations and single-dish functionality. Moreover, the new receiver aims to enable simultaneous observations over those frequency bands, compatible with current and coming Tri-band receivers within the EVN (following on from Korean VLBI Network (KVN) developments)

At the workshop, we present the main specifications, the conceptual design and overview of the project plan for a future Tri-band receiver for Onsala's 20 m telescope.
