07mar21 on/off casA.. ripple in cal

07apr21



What we did:

       Spectra taken 24mar21  showed large 64MHz ripples when the all deflection was used to remove the IF bandpass.  On
7apr21  a  2 minute on,off position  switch was done on casA. Plotting (spcPosOn-spcPosOff)/spcPosOff showed no ripple.
Plotting spcCalOff/(spcCalOn-spcCalOff) for data taken after the position switch still showed the ripple.
I also computed the sefd using a flux value o 620 Jy for  casA (from chris salter).


When  processing the spectra:
