    • The DBBC allows to detect synchronously an 80 Hz signal integrating the power from the cal off and cal on phases.
    • The 80 Hz signal can be obtained from output "Cont Cal".
    • Continuous cal can be enabled by typing:
      • cont_cal=on (at the FS)
    • In some cases the signal is inverted and you can get negative Tsys. This is a pending issue to be solved. It can be solved by patching the FS, but this solution should be avoided in the future and look for a cleaner one. The DBBC allows to invert the signal but this does not work at V105 version yet.
    • station.prc should be ready to switch between continuous calibration for some bands and traditional calibration for others.
