Abstract
The system operating noise temperature performance of the low-noise research cones at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex is reported for the period October 1, 1972 through January 31, 1973. System temperatures are reported for the S-band radar operational cone at DSS 13, the S-band megawatt transmit cone, and the polarization diversity S-band cone at DSS 14. In addition to these measurements, system temperature calibrations and antenna elevation profiles are reported for the 26-m-diam antenna at DSS 13 with and without the quadripod, and for the 64-m-diam antenna at DSS 14 at S- and X-bands with and without the reflex feed system.
