EM developments for a radio astronomy polarimeter: The QUIJOTE experiment

A comparison between simulated and measured results in different subsystems of a radio astronomy polarimeter receiver at 26-36 GHz band is presented. This comparison underlines the importance of careful simulation with different electromagnetic software tools in order to predict the receiver behavior. The receiver obtains three (Q, U and I) Stokes parameters simultaneously.
