21 cm Detector: Day 2- May 20

Today we began to work on the antenna.




After talking with Joe, we adjusted the low noise amplifier, as shown above, allowing more room inside of it.

After checking the low noise amplifier, we had to find where the hole needed to be in the antenna. We later found that we still need to drill more holes in order to properly mount the low noise amplifier. The digram of where the holes should be was confusing in nature, thus we did not drill the proper holes. Below is us drilling the mounting sheet.

Tomorrow we will work on drilling the proper holes in the antenna(cake pan). We also have to cut the board that will help to insulate the antenna and do more soldering that has to attach the Styrofoam to the pan.
