Scientific paper

The temperature of the cosmic background radiation (CBR) has been measured at a frequency of 3.7 GHz (8.1 cm wavelength), using a total power, direct RF-gain receiver. The results give a brightness temperature, T(CBR), of 2.59 + or - 0.13 K (68 percent confidence level). Details of the instrument and of the experimental procedure are given. This measurement is part of a larger experiment to measure the spectrum of the cosmic background radiation between 0.6 and 90 GHz (50 and 0.33 cm wavelength).
