Abstract
The system operating noise temperatures of the S-band research operational cone at the Venus Deep Space Station and the polarization diversity S-band cone at the Mars Deep Space Station are reported for the period June 1, 1971 through September 30, 1971. In addition, the performance of the multi-frequency X- and K-band cone on the ground at the Venus Deep Space Station is reported for X-band operation, as well as for X-band operation on the 64-m antenna at DSS 14, for the same period. This article presents system operating noise temperature calibrations of the K-band system in the following configurations: before installation in the MXK cone (approximately 23 K), installed in the cone, with the cone on the ground (approximately 25 K), and with the cone installed on the 64-m antenna at the Mars Deep Space Station (approximately 29 K).
