Comments on first 100 minutes of AM889
LBAND: 2IF, 2 Pols 7 channel each
Filled data with 20sec averaging by mistake. Redoing it correctly now.
Non-orking antennas (at least no data with fillm)
6, 11, 15, 22, 23 (only a little at end)
Four 2-min calibrator scans inspected:
--------------------------------------------
phases very stable with time
BUT
most antenna amplitude stability poor >10% changes over ~20 to 60
second period.
Only really stable antenna is 19?
some dropout antennas 1 13 17 27 for one calibrator scan
Phases over 7 frequency channels look reasonable, i.e. not much phase
slope.
SO, OKAY EXCEPT FOR POOR AMPLITUDE STABILITY.
BUT, I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF THIS PERSISTS WHEN I FILL THE DATA WITH THE
3.3SEC SAMPLING. BUT THE PHASE IS VERY STABLE, SO THIS 20SEC AVERAGING
ON-LINE SHOULD NOT AFFECT GAIN
STABILITY - UNLESS AVERAGING IS NOT DONE CORRECTLY.
