The oscillatory bandpass seen on antenna 16 last week for 25 MHz and
smaller bandwidths prompted us to look at the cross-correlation (lag)
function between 16 and a VLA antenna, and 16's autocorrelation function.
In addition to the expected large peak near 0 delay there were two
satellite peaks at about 320 ns (16 VLA lags for 25 MHz). The satellite
lines are not centered on integer VLA lags. I estimated that the actual
lag was 15.64 VLA samples based on the relative amplitudes seen at lags 15
and 16 which corresponds ~313 ns. This turns out to be 64.06 EVLA
samples, almost exactly 2 EVLA data frames.
