Description

An observation system of MBR from extensive airshowers is being developed on a roof of the Konan University in Japan. This system consists of 12 parabolas with 1.2 diameters. Each parabola has a 12 GHz receiver. The signals from the receivers are digitized by 65 MS/s FADC. Field of view of each parabola is about 1.5 degrees and this system covers 6 times 4.5 square degrees. Test observation has been started since March this year and measuring noises from the city nearby. The detail of this MBR observation system and its extension plan will be presented.
