description Purpose: High resolution investigation of spectral lines of space sources requires low intrinsic noise of the radio telescope receiving system. It is provided with both input cryogenic amplifiers and low phase noise of local oscillators. To make spectral studies, it is neces ary to be able to tune the frequencies of local oscillators with a small frequency step. The paper presents the results of developing the frequency synthesizers, which simultaneously provide both a very high frequency resolution and low level of phase noise. The results of measurements of natural noise of the RT-32 radio telescope radio receiving systems are given also.Design/methodology/approach: The RT-32 receiving systems are constructed as heterodyne receivers with two stages of frequency conversion. Tuning of receiving systems with a frequency step of 10 or 20 MHz is provided by local oscillators of the first frequency conversion stage, and precise tuning is provided due to the ultra-high resolution  0.0001 MHz) of DDS-based (direct digital synthesizer) local oscillators of the second frequency conversion stage.Findings: It is shown that the application of direct digital synthesizers is possible only with the low values of frequency multiplication factors, as well as under the conditions of careful filtering of all reference signals. The parameters of the local oscillators were measured with the N9951A spectrum analyzer (Keysight Technologies) with the high resolution and wide dynamic range. To measure the radio telescope receiving systemnoise characteristics, a special matched loads with the possibility of cooling down to the liquid nitrogen temperature were made. The noise temperature measurements were made in different cross sections of the RT-32 receiving system. Comparison of such measurements in different configurations makes it possible to provide a preliminary estimation of the RT-32 self noise in the C- and K-bands.Conclusions: The results of measurements of self noise of radio receiving systems and phase noise of local oscillators of the RT-32 radio telescope show that within the C-band the radio telescope is capable to perform high-sensitive studies in both a wide frequency band and a narrow frequency band with the high spectral resolution. Within the K-band, the natural noise is comparable (≈60÷80 K) with the external noise that also allows studying the radiation of maser radio sources. Key words: antenna, self noise, local oscillator, receiving system,radio telescope, RT-32, spectral lines Manuscript submitted 15.07.2020 Radio phys. radio astron. 2020, 25(3): 175-192REFERENCES1.

It is provided with both input cryogenic amplifiers and low phase noise of local oscillators. To make spectral studies, it is neces ary to be able to tune the frequencies of local oscillators with a small frequency step. The paper presents the results of developing the frequency synthesizers, which simultaneously provide both a very high frequency resolution and low level of phase noise. The results of measurements of natural noise of the RT-32 radio telescope radio receiving systems are given also.Design/methodology/approach: The RT-32 receiving systems are constructed as heterodyne receivers with two stages of frequency conversion. Tuning of receiving systems with a frequency step of 10 or 20 MHz is provided by local oscillators of the first frequency conversion stage, and precise tuning is provided due to the ultra-high resolution  0.0001 MHz) of DDS-based (direct digital synthesizer) local oscillators of the second frequency conversion stage.Findings: It is shown that the application of direct digital synthesizers is possible only with the low values of frequency multiplication factors, as well as under the conditions of careful filtering of all reference signals. The parameters of the local oscillators were measured with the N9951A spectrum analyzer (Keysight Technologies) with the high resolution and wide dynamic range. To measure the radio telescope receiving systemnoise characteristics, a special matched loads with the possibility of cooling down to the liquid nitrogen temperature were made. The noise temperature measurements were made in different cross sections of the RT-32 receiving system. Comparison of such measurements in different configurations makes it possible to provide a preliminary estimation of the RT-32 self noise in the C- and K-bands.Conclusions: The results of measurements of self noise of radio receiving systems and phase noise of local oscillators of the RT-32 radio telescope show that within the C-band the radio telescope is capable to perform high-sensitive studies in both a wide frequency band and a narrow frequency band with the high spectral resolution. Within the K-band, the natural noise is comparable (≈60÷80 K) with the external noise that also allows studying the radiation of maser radio sources. Key words: antenna, self noise, local oscillator, receiving system,radio telescope, RT-32, spectral lines Manuscript submitted 15.07.2020 Radio phys. radio astron. 2020, 25(3): 175-192REFERENCES1.

Вони забезпечуються як вхідними кріогенними підсилювачами, так і низькими фазовими шумами гетеродинів. Для виконання спектральних досліджень необхідно мати можливість перестроювання частот гетеродинів з малим частотним кроком. В роботі наведено результати розроблення синтезаторів частоти, які одночасно забезпечують як дуже малий частотний крок, та і низький рівень фазових шумів. Наведено також результати вимірювань власних шумів кріогенних приймальних систем радіотелескопу РТ-32.Методи і методологія: Приймальні системи РТ-32 створені за схемами супергетеродинних приймачів з двома ступенями перетворення частоти. Настроювання приймальної системи з частотним кроком 10 або 20 МГц забезпечується гетеродинами першого перетворення частоти, а точне настроювання відбувається  завдяки надвисокій роздільній здатності (0.0001 МГц) гетеродинів другого перетворення частоти, які створено на основі синтезаторів прямого цифрового синтезу.Результати: Показано, що застосування синтезаторів прямого цифрового синтезу можливе лише з низькими значеннями коефіцієнтів множення частоти, а також за умов ретельної фільтрації усіх опорних сигналів. Вимірювання параметрів гетеродинів проводилось за допомогою спектроаналізатора N9951A (Keysight Technologies), який має високу роздільну здатність та широкий динамічний діапазон. Для вимірювань шумових характеристик радіоприймальної системи радіотелескопу було виготовлено спеціальне узгоджене навантаження з можливістю охолодження до температури рідкого азоту. Вимірювання шумової температури було проведене в різних розрізах приймального тракту РТ-32. Співставлення таких вимірювань в різних конфігураціях дає можливість зробити попередню оцінку власних шумів РТ-32 в С та K діапазонах.Висновок: Результати вимірювань власних шумів радіоприймальних систем та фазових шумів гетеродинів радіотелескопу РТ-32 показують, що радіотелескоп в С-діапазоні здатен виконувати високочутливі дослідження як в широкій смузі частот, так і у вузькій смузі частот з високою спектральною роздільною здатністю. В K-діапазоні власні шуми є співставними (≈60÷80 К) з зовнішніми шумами, що також дає можливість досліджувати випромінювання мазерних джерел.Ключові слова: антена, власний шум, гетеродин, приймальна система, радіотелескоп, РТ-32, спектральні лінії Стаття надійшла до редакції 15.07.2020Radio phys. radio astron. 2020, 25(3): 175-192СПИСОК ЛІТЕРАТУРИ1.
