Abstract
The detection of distortions from a pure blackbody in the frequency di stribution of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation is potentially very important for understanding the thermal evolution of the Univers e. in this work we describe the status of the Campo Imperatore experim ent, which involves radiometers operating at 600, 820 and 2500 MHz and we discuss the calibration strategy we use.
