Scientific paper

A system is developed for making measurements of spatial fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background at the 3-mm wavelength, on an angular scale of .5 to 5 degrees. The system includes a telescope with a Gaussian beam with an FWHM of 20 to 50 arcmin, an SIS coherent receiver operating around 90 GHz, and for balloon flights, a pointing system capable of 1 arc-minute RMS stabilization. Results are reported from ground-based measurements made from the South Pole station during December, 1988.
