<p>The Total Power backend is a single-band, seven-beam backend for continuum observations. Located just below the dish, this backend is formed by 14 voltage-to-frequency converters that digitize the incoming RF signals. Different IF inputs can be selected from three focal points. Different bandwidths (maximum bandwidth: 0.1 - 2.1 GHz) and attenuation levels can be selected.</p>
