The ALMA front end
The ALMA Front End — the first element in a complex chain of signal receiving, conversion, processing and recording — is pictured inside an assembly hall. Here, the front end is integrated for testing before being mounted behind an actual ALMA radio telescope antenna. This image shows the various receiver cartridges corresponding to each spectral band.
