Description
The Fermilab Large Cold Black Body Test Stand can be used to expose a horn plus receiver assembly to a large black body at cryogenic temperatures (as low as 20 K). The temperature of the black body can be varied while keeping the receiver temperature constant, facilitating Y factor measurements of receiver noise. The test stand has recently been used for studying a QUIET receiver module.
