Main parameters describing the
K-band dual-feed receiver
In order to make the second
conversion band correspond to a different RF band (sky
frequency range), it is necessary to set the LO1 frequancy
using the formula: freq(OL1) = RF -
6
Where RF is the lowest frequency of the wanted band (to have
the maximum frequency sum 2 GHz).
