Michael/Ken took 40 minutes of full wide-band data with the 3-bit
samplers. Data quality looks very nice, with uniform delays, continuous
amplitudes/gains across all 16 subbands.
But the rms noise is far higher than it should be. In subband 12 (6928
MHz -- same as the simple test done by Ken a little earlier), we have
for our 'noise matrix':
12 15 22 28
------------------------------------------------------------
12 XX .41 .75 .51
15 .32 XX .74 .50
22 .38 .45 XX .99
28 .43 .49 .57 XX
The matrix entries (says here) should be 0.15! So we are a factor
of 2 to 6 too high.
Perhaps more interesting is that the entries for the baselines
amongst 15,22,28 are three times higher than they were for the simple
1-subband test done by Ken a little earlier. It's as if all noises have
been multiplied by three.
