Abstract The results of measurements of the cosmic background radiation (CBR) at 3.3 mm are reported, and the instrument, system operation, and data analysis procedures are described in detail. A CBR brightness temperature of 2.57 K with a 1 sigma uncertainty of + or - 0.12 K is obtained. The results are compared with measurements by other authors, and the cold-load antenna temperature and atmospheric model used in the study are discussed in appendices.
