The RAL10PL receiver has been developed to work together with Spider230 radio telescope observing the most
intense radio sources in the sky at 11.2 GHz frequency. The receiver is composed of a sturdy plastic material con-
tainer (IP65, 300mm L x200mm W x 180mm H) which contains the thermo-stabilized receiver and power supply.
The instrument receives the RF signal from the LNB and the RS232 serial port from the system handling the an-
tenna: an Ethernet port provides communication with the instrument to the PC station. To optimize the stability of
the radiometer, the receiver is implemented within a PID loop that maintains a constant temperature electronics.
