Frayer (1) The GBT 4mm Rx David T. Frayer (NRAO) Instrument’s purpose: GHz spectral-line science {Called “4mm” since middle of band is 80GHz (3.75mm) and plans for future higher frequency Rx at mm} First Light Spectrum: May 2011 Commissioned: Jan-Mar 2012 Amplifier upgrade: Nov 2012

Frayer (2) 2.3 acre collecting area 485 ft 151 ft At 100 m, the GBT is the largest fully steerable telescope in the world.

Frayer (3) Improvements to Surface Makes 3mm Possible (From Todd Hunter, PTCS group)

Frayer (4) University of Georgia, Sept actuators The Active Surface Currently rms < 240μm at night, the goal is ~200μm

Frayer (5) GBT Effective Collecting Area (η a * Area) Assumes current ~240um rms surface errors  35% at 90 GHz  most sensitive facility at Q and 4mm (ALMA ”band2”)

Frayer (6) Weather at Green Bank good for 3mm observations for hrs per year Hours available per year with acceptable winds and tau: (from Ron Maddalena’s weather studies)

Frayer (7) Rx Block Diagram Specs:  Dual beam (4.7’) separation (cold load between beams)  Dual linear polarization for both beams, 1/4plate allows circular polarization for 1 beam for VLBI observations  Frequency Range: GHz  IF system 4 separate bands: [FL GHz], [FL GHz], [FL GHz], [FL GHz]
