Brief data summary
and
scan listing
)
L-band NME observed on 20 Feb. 2004 (session 1/2004). This experiment was
recorded at 512 Mbps using 1-bit sampling to test wide band setups at the
stations. Dual polarisation, 128 MHz bandwidth. Disk recording failed in
Jodrell Bank. The problem affected only the two headstacks experiments
(mainly NMEs) during the session.
In Wb the most upper channels were not locked in this experiment, but in
principle up to 160 MHz bandwidth should be available. In Cm a bad track
was remapped to a system track. Because of various constraints, this
experiment had more than usual playback problems. The affected correlator
jobs were not redone. The data losses due to poor playback which seemed
to be correlator related were not taken into account in the ERI estimation
below.
The ratio of the expected to the observed number of good visibilities is
estimated as ERI = 0.571 (Ef=0.6, Mc=0.5/0.5 (known IF limitation), Jb=0.0,
Wb=0.66, On=1.0, Nt=1.0, Ur=1.0, Sh=0.375/0.375 (only LCP expected; known
IF limitation), Hh=1.0, Tr=0.75, Cm=0.04/0.12 (only ~14 MHz/polarisation
expected)).
Note that because the 1-bit Van Vleck correction was
not applied at the correlator, the amplitudes are low
by a factor of 2/pi.
