| - | AETHRA (Advanced European Technologies for Heterodyne Receivers for Astronomy) aims at exploiting new technologies, such as highly integrated microelectronic semi- or superconducting circuits, to significantly improve the next generation receivers of mm and sub-mm wavelength telescopes, reinforcing European technological and scientific leadership by considerably improving the receiver performance and observing speed of the European-owned world- leading facilities ALMA, APEX, NOEMA and PV. The most effective means to boost the observing speed of those instruments at a reasonable cost consist of: | + | The main objective of BRAND EVN (BRoad bAND EVN) is to develop and build a prototype broad-band digital |
| - | a) widening the Intermediate/Radio frequency (IR/FR) receiver bandwidths and b) implementing large focal plane arrays (FPAs) of heterodyne receivers. ({{{{:jra:730562_radionet_wp5.pdf|WP5 Description)}}. | + | receiver, which will cover a frequency range from 1.5 GHz to 15.5 GHz (1:10 range, chosen to include the 2 cm VLBA |
| + | band). The BRAND frontend can be adapted to different EVN antennas. The backend part can also be used for other | ||
| + | receivers with a RF frequency or IF range between 0-16 GHz. ({{:jra:730562_radionet_wp6.pdf|BRAND EVN Description}}). | ||
