Abstract
When we decide to build a new radio telescope for observing at millimeter wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, we have to make many very important decisions. One of these is the type of spectrometer to use. Here we will present a short description of the several choices available, with special focus on acousto-optical spectrometers.
