| Abstract: | The basic gain and pointing characteristics of millimeter-wave radio telescopes are described in this paper. Formal definitions of relevant telescope parameters are given. Performance limits set by conventional technology are discussed and compared with measurements of existing telescopes. Methods are also suggested for minimizing pointing errors. |
