Curiously -- the situation at 4-band seems much better than at
P-band (although perhaps our criteria for success at 4-band are quite a
bit different than at P!)
In general, all polarizations seem to be correct. Phases are good
in general.
* Antenna 12 gives no fringes, but is not flagged.
* Antenna 24 flagged on all IFs -- but works o.k. in IF#2 (B and D).
* antennas 13 and 16 are correctly flagged out. (Curiously, I see
stable fringes on antenna 16, but they don't close correctly, so
represent some other sort of coherent signal).
* Antenna 26D gave both multiple phase and amplitude levels. I
think this should have been fixed by Mike, and a test should be done to
see.
* Antenna 28 gave the same 1.25 phase ramp on all IFs that I saw at
P-band -- only this time, the ramp took place in the FIRST 10 SECONDS of
the scan.
* Antenna 18, IFs A and C had a bistable phase throughout (5
minutes). The same situation as in one of the P-band scans.
* Antenna 4A and 4B (RCP) is a factor of 3 low in amplitude.
* Antennas 11 and 19 are low by a factor of 10 in amplitude on all 4
IFs. (Tcal?)
* Antenna 18, IFs A and C are showing 'short shallow drops'. No big
deal.
* Antenna 17 is quite erratic in amplitude on all IFs. A and C
behave identically, IFs B and D also, but different than A and C.
* Antenna 20B is very erratic in amplitude.
* Antenna 23 A and C is erratic in amplitude.
* An
tenna 24 A gives no coherence, and 24C very weak and variable
coherence. But 24B and D look fine. All four IFs were flagged.
