We have carried out 2D-ACAR measurements on an untwinned single crystal of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-x} as a function of temperature, for five temperatures ranging from 30K to 300K. We show that these temperature dependent 2D-ACAR spectra can be described to a good approximation as a superposition of two temperature independent spectra with temperature dependent weighting factors. We show further how the data can be used to correct for the background'' in the experimental spectrum. Such a background corrected'' spectrum is in remarkable accord with the corresponding band theory predictions, and displays in particular clear signatures of the electron ridge Fermi surface.
