Attached are data from 212 and 274 GHz with no grids: 4133.GIF 4133b.GIF
  4134.GIF 4134b.GIF

Grid was placed over the Duommun horn, but the cross-pol level remained around 17.5 dB:

4136.GIF 4136b.GIF

The horn was cleaned and the aperture reshaped by the shop (grid remained over horn) and levels reduced to -23.5 dB:

4138.GIF 4138b.GIF

Placed grid over both transmit and receive horns:

4143.GIF 4143b.GIF

We checked linearity using a section of Marconi absorber (~ 25 dB insertion loss) and confirmed that the power meter, spectrum analyzer, and network analyzer all measured the same relative power. Dynamic range was checked by placing block of CV-3 absorber over horn. Dynamic range was > 40 dB on Network Analyzer.

 

Replaced Ducommun horn with CMI Standard Gain Horn.

Measurement of CMI Horn HO3R (co-pol):

Crosspol results for the pyrimidal horn look suspiciously similar to all previous data. I think the title here is incorrect and the grid was only on the TX for this measurement.

Excel 2007 software was upgraded to plot this data and that file is \\cvfiler\cv-cdl-sis\CartTstData\Cart6.008productionTSTdata\Warm Patterns\Xpol243GHz.xlsm
