System performance

last monthly update: aug20

     The performance of the various receivers measured with the heiles calibration scans are listed by receiver and epoch. The plots show the average of polA and polB. There are 3 sets of plots: For receivers that cover a wide range of frequencies, the data will be plotted with all frequencies combined, and then by frequency.

For the alfa receiver the data is first plotted with all pixels together. The color is used to code the pixel number. After the combined plot there are 7 more plots showing each pixel by itself. For these plots the color is used to distinguish the source used.

There are sections that show the cumulative system performance and the system performance by month.
