- Abstract
We report on a new design for a Fourier transform microwave spectrometer in the spectral region 1-4 GHz, specially constructed for the investigation of rotational spectra of heavy van der Waals complexes. In contrast to the commonly known molecular beam spectrometers using a Fabry-Perot resonator working with TEM00q modes, the proposed design employs a different type of resonator operating with TE01q modes. This resonator allows for compact dimensions even at cut-off wavelengths above 0.1 m. Details of the design, performance data, and example spectra of stable molecules and complexes are given.
