A somewhat longer but otherwise similar run this morning recording dual pol'n
(RR+LL, IFs A and C) using WIDAR-0 (11 antennas) showed:
1- 40 minutes of 20 second scans with fshift=20 kHz shows NO phase jumps,
apart from one glitch on all baselines.
2- Delays for IF C changed considerably from last night's values. Ken
and I have the numbers for those who care. IF A by contrast gave nice
consistent values.
3- ea03, IF C shows a steeply falling cross-corr'n response in subband 3
(also evident in subband 4), reaching a 10dB-ish "suckout" in amplitude
around 4990 MHz. There is a corresponding phase jump of 80-90 degrees.
The amp suckout does NOT show up in the auto-correlations, the StB wideband
correlations, or Walter/Mike's autocorrelation plots. IF A looks normal
in both amp and phase. The suckout and phase jump in IF C are seen on all
baselines, and (in spot checks) throughout the observing run.
More work to do, obviously...
