Y191A: PV - YS test (Ys dual-pol receiver)

    Y191A Correlation Report

    General information

    • The purpose of this observation was to test the new Ys dual-pol receiver.
    • Only two antennas participated, Pico Veleta and Yebes.
    • Test time: 14 March (day 73) 2019, 10:00-12:50UT
    • Two sources observed, 3C345 (scans No0001-4) and 3C84 (scans No0005-12)

    Status

    Parts of a few scans were correlated, test is a success.

    Returned to old single-pol receiver (RCP duplicates the LCP signal)

    Scan No0010:

    Strong parallel-hand fringes, no or weak cross-hand fringes. SNR of RR fringe is somewhat larger than the one for LL fringe.

    The amplitude vs channels plots of both LL and RR exhibit a strange "bowl" shape, with amplitudes in edge channels up to 4 times higher than the amplitude in the central ones.

    After the return back to the old single-pol receiver the problem persists (see LL and LR plots of scan No0010).
