Abstract
An X-band low-noise receiving cone with 17-MHz instantaneous bandwidth has been built to evaluate the 26-m antenna at the Venus Station (DSS 13), Goldstone, California, at X-band frequencies, and also to provide a means for precise radio source calibrations in this frequency range. These measurements are necessary to provide more accurate antenna gain performance calibrations for the 64-m antenna subnet. The zenith system temperatures with the cone on the ground and on the antenna are 17.5 and 20.8 K, respectively.
