Antenna 14 B does not give fringes. There is total power and switched
power, just no fringes. It is very hard to explain this.
Antenna 16 D is giving fringes. It is the only IF on 16 which is.
16 B is in the same situation as 14 B - total and switched power, but
no fringes. 16 A has low power and very low switched power. If I
turn down the attenuator in the T304 for IF A, I can get a reasonalble
amount of total power, a slightly weak switched power, and no fringes.
IF 16 C has no total power, and turning down the attenuator in the
T304 does not make any. It seems to be disconnected from the system.
The above was done at X band; the absence of fringes was verified at
C, L, and K.
Antenna 13 worked well on IFs A & C (as expected). It gives essentially
full strength fringes at L and C bands, is down by a factor of 4 or so
at X band, and produces detectable fringes at K band. It has been down
to have its BD L302 installed. It has just come back, and is giving
fringes only on A & C still. I'll look into why.
I think antenna 13 points well enough to do some C band pointing. I'll
trim its delays first.
