New IF Unit
A new IF switching unit will be installed in early 1995. This will allow automatic setting of IF power
level and switch-over between receivers. It is also designed to provide a single channel with 1800 MHz of
instantaneous bandwidth.
The amount of usable bandwidth will depend on the receiver. However, we hope that RxC2 will have
reasonable performance over ~1400 MHz.
RxB3 (CU) and RxW may also have a similar bandwidth. RxA2 and RxB3i will still be limited to ~600
MHz.
In this wideband mode, only one channel of a dual-polarisation receiver can be used.
