Abstract We have measured the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) at a frequency of 10 GHz (wavelength 3.0 cm) as part of a larger effort to determine the spectrum of the CMBR in the Rayleigh-Jeans region. The instrument used is a superheterodyne Dicke-switched radiometer. We have repeat- ed the measurement over four summers with successively improved techniques and equipment. Our best estimate of the CMBR thermodynamic temperature at 10 GHz is 2.61 +/- 0.06 K, where the error estimate is a 68% confidence level limit.
