Michael had me look at the first data from SDM1. Some good news:
a) The amplitudes and phases are smoothly continuous in time. No
jumps or drops (but see below).
b) The eight subbands (128 MHz each, spanning 1024 MHz of L-band)
are perfectly continguous.
c) All frequencies are correct (based on known interferors). The
half-channel error is gone.
Then, the not-so-good news:
a) The header information is correct only for subband #1. The
even-numbered subbands have headers indicating a zero frequency, and a
bandwidth equal to the channel width. The channel separation value is
correct. The odd-numbered subbands are generally incorrect: subband 3
contains subband 2's information, subband 5 has subband 3's, and subband
7 has subband 4's information.
b) A single all-zero record is found (in 8 minutes duration).
