A bit more on comparing the Hittite pair with the best Teledyne samplers:
* Histograms look much better (yesterday's plot).
* Stability of amplitude, delay, phase, bandpass look just as good. Longer tests
(with more samplers) are in the works.
* RL crosstalk just as good.
* Calibration (switched power) nonlinearity is closer to theoretical,
* and there is less variation across the subbands within a sampler baseband.
* Noise on the visibilities: 0-10% (+_3%) better than the teledyne samplers.
Various single baselines and combinations were compared. This data had no
8-bit channels in parallel, that will be done ASAP.
* NO birdies in the autocorrelations.
So far so good!
