Beam Efficiencies

Beam efficiency measurements are made at the request of the observer. Measurements for the current semester are tabulated at:
 
The average beam efficiencies as measured during the 2020-2021 observing season are as follows:
UArizona 12M Telescope Beam Efficiencies
Receiver AVERAGE BEAm efficiency
4 mm (66-90 GHz) 92% +/- 6%
3 mm (88-116 GHz) 91% +/- 3%
2 mm (120-190 GHz) 81% +/- 5%
1 mm (211-275 GHz) 65% +/- 4%
UArizona SMT Beam Efficiencies
REceiver AVERAGE BEAM EFFICIENCY
1.3 mm (205-280 GHz) 71% +/- 7%
0.8 mm (325-370 GHz) 59% +/- 14%
