Abstract
The implementation of the Block III Maser System into the 64-m and 26-m antenna Deep Space Stations has recently been completed. The Block HI maser system has improved the reliability and microwave performance over that of the previous Block II maser system. The Block III traveling wave maser amplifier has 45 +1 dB gain at a center frequency of 2285 MHz, with an instantaneous 1-dB bandwidth of 30 MHz minimum. The higher gain and lower noise temperature of the Block III maser system have lowered the overall system temperature approximately 10 K.
