Scientific paper

The Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) is an interferometer array designed to measure the power spectrum of fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation. The CBI is located at an altitude of 5080 m in northern Chile. It consists of 13 0.9-m diameter antennas on a 6-m diameter tracking platform. Each antenna has a cooled, low-noise receiver operating in the 26--36 GHz band. Signals are cross-correlated in an analog correlator with 10 1-GHz bands. We describe the observations and data-analysis methods and present a determination of the microwave background intrinsic anisotropy spectrum over the range l=400 to l=3500. The CBI project is supported by the NSF.
