// PBMath1DAiry is a 1-D Airy Disk voltage pattern & Primary Beam

// <etymology>
// PBMath1DAiry: derived from  PBMath1D, implements an Airy pattern PB and VP
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis> 
// See PBMath1D for a general synopsis of the 1D PB types.
//
// For an unblocked dish:
// VP(x) = 2 * j1(x)/x
//
// For blockage:
// areaRatio = (dish/block)^2;
// lengthRat = (dish/block);
// VP(x) = ( areaRatio* 2 * j1(x)/x - 2  j1(x*lengthRat)/(x*lengthRat) ) / (areaRatio - 1);
// </synopsis> 
//    
//
// <example>
// <srcblock>
//    PBMath1DAiry airyPB( Quantity(24.5,"m"), Quantity(2.5,"m"),
//                         Quantity(2*0.8564,"deg"), Quantity(1.0,"GHz") );
//    airyPB.applyPB( inImage, outImage, pointingDir);
// </srcblock>
// </example>
//
// <motivation>
// All of the 1-D PB types have everything in common except for the
// details of their parameterization.  This lightweight class
// deals with those differences: construction, filling the PBArray
// from construction parameters, and flushing to disk.
// </motivation>
//
// <todo asof="98/10/21">
// <li> constructor from a MS beam subtable
// <li> flush to MS beam subtable
