Abstract

AbstractA fully-steerable 3.7 metre radiotelescope has been developed as an aid to undergraduate teaching. By using commercially available domestic satellite television components, excellent performance can be achieved at very low cost. The telescope is to be fully computer controlled, and has interchangeable feed horns and low-noise amplifiers for 21 cm, 2.5 cm and 7.5 cm. Experiments will include measurement of the surface temperature of the moon and Venus and of the effective temperature of the sun, plus observation of the brightest thermal and non-thermal galactic sources.
