published by the Princeton University

Describes an experiment for the temperature measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background. A radiometer is used to measure the intensity of the sky signal at 10 GHz. The radiometer is calibrated to reduce systematic effects, and the signal from a cryogenically cooled reference load is periodically measured to catch changes in the gain of the amplifier circuit over time.
