Abstract
Array feed combining data recorded with the Mark III data acquisition terminal at DSS 13 are analyzed to determine combining gain. The performance of the current real-time combining algorithm and that of a more complex algorithm that uses all pairwise correlations among the feeds are evaluated and compared. The results are extrapolated to lower receiver temperatures to predict the performance of future array feed receivers operating at much colder effective temperatures. For the cases considered, the improvement due to the more complex algorithm appears to be insignificant, even with very low-temperature receivers.
