Authors list
Four observing bands will be available for cycle 0 (Early Science) observations. They are designated bands 3, 6, 7, 9. The nominal frequency ranges are:


Band 3: 84 - 116 GHz 2.6 - 3.6 mm
Band 6: 211 - 275 GHz 1.1 - 1.4 mm
Band 7: 275 - 373 GHz 0.8 - 1.1 mm
Band 9: 602 - 720 GHz 0.4 - 0.5 mm
