This scheme has been implemented on Plateau de Bure, where the dynamic
range of the detectors is relatively small (only 2 between optimum
sensitivity and saturation). The only change from the standard equations
presented before is the introduction of the ``beam filling factor'' or
``calibration efficiency''
in the output on the chopper (from Eq.
(1-2))
![\begin{displaymath}
Mean\_load / K = Trec + C_{eff} * T_{load} + (1-C_{eff}) * T_{emi}
\end{displaymath}](img48.png) |

Algebra similar to that already exposed yields
![\begin{displaymath}
Tcal = C_{eff} * \frac{(T_{load} - T_{emi}) * (1. + Gain\_i)}
{B_s * e^{-Tau\_s * Air\_mass}}
\end{displaymath}](img49.png) |

just correcting
by an additional
scaling factor.
In TREC mode, the sky emission is derived by
![\begin{displaymath}
T_{emi} = \frac{(T_{load} + Trec) * Mean\_atm * C_{eff}}
{Mean\_load - (1-C_{eff})*Mean\_atm} - Trec
\end{displaymath}](img50.png) |

and in AUTO mode, the receiver temperature may be derived by
![\begin{displaymath}
Trec = \frac{C_{eff} * Mean\_atm * T_{load} - (Mean\_load - (1-C_{eff})
* Mean\_atm) * T\_emi}{Mean\_load - Mean\_atm}
\end{displaymath}](img51.png) |
