Why? Remove the delay and the bandpass, do a linear fit in frequency a la
UVLSF/UVLIN to take care of the source over a subband (maybe after subtracting
a model, as Ed suggests), calculate the rms, possibly do an antenna-based
decomposition, and use the results to figure out the weights. You have
to account for source structure (and spectral index as a secondary effect)
of course.
Admittedly if we have good Tcal(freq) we should be able to get good
Tsys(freq) and that's much easier.
