High-resolution sweep spectroscopy has been extended to submillimeter wavelengths as short as 0.37 mm. The sensitivity of microwave spectroscopy in the submillimeter region (0.37 to 1 mm) has been improved by more than an order of magnitude. The highest-frequency spectral lines measured are the J=6→7 transition of 12C16O at 806 651.719 MHz and the J=66→67 transition of 16O12C32S at 813 353.706 MHz. The rotational constant B0 for DF is observed to be 325 584.96 MHz.
