Band 3 covering 84 to 116 GHz is one of the ten bands that will form the Front End Receiver for the Atacama Large Millimetre Array. A Band 3 receiver prototype and one unit have been assembled and tested at the Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics. This paper will give an overview of the Band 3 design and also present the performance of the first deliverable unit. The single sideband (SSB) system noise exceeds the specifications (TSSB<37 K) over the full RF band with a minimum TSSB of 26 K and a maximum of 34 K. In addition to details of the system noise performance other characteristics such as image rejection and cross-polarization are also presented.
