Description
The ngVLA is designed to play a critical role in achieving key scientific goals related to the evolution of galaxies, the formation of supermassive black holes, and more. To do so, it aims to achieve ten times the sensitivity of the Jansky VLA and ALMA. Thereby, placing high demands on the used receivers. To meet these requirements, custom solutions based on the combination and interconnection of individual, bulky components are traditionally pursued. Instead, we investigate the possibility of replacing the ngVLA’s band 6 warm cartridge assembly concept with a single chip in SiGe. The results demonstrate the ability to meet the phase noise requirements for the ngVLA local oscillator. In addition, the dramatic reduction in complexity may open the door to new concepts and ideas for the radio telescopes of the future.
