Abstract Measurement results of some properties of the Miyun 50m radio telescope (MRT50) of the National Astronomical Observatories, such as pointing calibration, antenna beams, system noise temperature, gain and gain variations with elevation are introduced. By using a new de-convolution technique developed by our group, the broadening effect on measured beams caused by the width of an extended radio source has been removed so that we obtained higher accuracy on the measurements of MRT50 beams.
