A low CMB variance in the WMAP data
We have estimated the CMB variance from the three-year WMAP data, finding a value which is significantly lower than the one expected from Gaussian simulations using the WMAP best-fit cosmological model, at a significance level of 98.7 per cent.

Self-balancing microwave comparison radiometer
A 3cm radiometer evolved from Allred's 3 Mc/s system is described. The sum and difference of the voltages from an aerial and a controllable noise source are formed in a magic-T hybrid and correlated. The correlator output, which is zero only for equal aerial and reference powers, is used to adjust the reference to equality.
