December 2011 D-configuration

Each link in the list below presents scalar-averaged cross correlation spectra using several baselines in the D-configuration for each respective receiver band obtained in December 2011. Each spectrum spans 128 MHz. The channel separation is 125 kHz. Hanning smoothing has been applied to minimize Gibbs ringing. The scale is logarithmic with arbitrary offset. The scale can be roughly calibrated by noting that the mean power level is roughly equal to the antenna SEFD in Jy. There is no bandpass calibration, so the downturns at the edges are due to the analog and/or digital filters. All plots are from the RCP correlation - the LCP looks very similar.
