Operation of the G1 receiver has been verified on February 15,
in the 210-240 GHz band
commonly used at IRAM 30m telescope. In this frequency band receiver
output power has been found stable in double sideband and single
sideband mixer operations (
0.1% over 1s timescale).
The minimum receiver noise temperature
measured in front of the receiver is 75 K in almost double sideband
tuning at 220 GHz LO. At the same frequency the SSB noise temperature
is about 95 K with about 20 dB rejection of the upper sideband.
G1 receiver SSB noise temperature (SSB tuning) and DSB noise
temperature (DSB tuning) are presented in Fig. 3. Upper sideband
rejection in SSB mode of operation is presented in Fig. 4.
The G1 receiver is thus in a correct state and may be used in
SSB mode with rejections higher than 10 dB.

noise temperature (DSB tuning). Noise temperature is measured in
front of the receiver (see note in caption of Fig.1).
