Antenna and Receiver Improvements

The primary goals of providing continuous frequency coverage and sub- sensitivity require many changes to the antennas and receiver ensemble. At the antennas, the project involves: i) improving receivers at existing observing bands; ii) adding new observing bands; iii) modifying the quadrupod legs and focus-rotation mount system to permit access to the prime focus; and, iv) modifying the antenna surface for improved operation.
