Cryogenic microwave load CryoLoad

Function

Calibration and sensitivity measurements for tests of microwave radiometers.

Description

The instrument consists of two waveguide matched loads operating at ambient temperature and two matched loads, cooled at variable temperatures. The temperatures are microprocessor-controlled.

The test version of instrument is available.
