Near-field microwave holography has been used to characterise receiver optics at temperatures close to absolute zero before they are installed in the Simons Observatory Large Aperture Telescope in Northern Chile, which will measure cosmic microwave background. The near-field results were used to predict far-field performance of the assembly, which includes lenses, filters, a feed horn …
