Abstract

Due to the high transmitted power level, the signals coming from an orbiting cloud radar operating near 94 GHz can interfere with Earth-based receivers within the entire spectrum. This is particularly true for high-sensitive receivers as used in radio-astronomy. In certain situations there can be even damage of the ultra sensitive front-end in such receivers. The interference scenario as caused by a cloud-radar operating near 94 GHz from an orbiting satellite is discussed. A few solutions to alleviate the potential impact in ultra sensitive receiver front-ends in millimeter-wave radio telescopes have been studied. A filtering feed with a narrow band blocking capability has been suggested to protect such ultra sensitive receiving front-ends. The design, realisation and test of hardware related to such a filtering antenna feed (at ambient and cryogenic temperatures) are discussed.
