Detailed Description

FluxCalcLogFreqBrokenPolynomial: Implementation base class for flux standards which are broken polynomials of log10(frequency).

Intended use:

Public interface

Prerequisite

FluxCalcLogFreqPolynomial module

Etymology

From FluxCalcLogFreqPolynomial and "broken".

Synopsis

The FluxCalcLogFreqBrokenPolynomial class extends FluxCalcLogFreqPolynomial to allow one set of coefficients to be used below a certain frequency (the break frequency) and another above it. Ideally the sets should mesh well enough to make the resulting function at least roughly continuous.

Example

Motivation

Some of the flux classes use a broken polynomial for 1934-638, and some do not.

To Do

Handle an arbitrary number of breaks.

template<Int lford>

void casa::FluxCalcLogFreqBrokenPolynomial::fill_lohi_coeffs	(	const RigidVector< Float, lford > &	lorv,
		const MFrequency &	break_freq,
		const RigidVector< Float, lford > &	hirv
	)

virtual Bool casa::FluxCalcLogFreqBrokenPolynomial::operator()	(	Flux< Double > &	value,
		Flux< Double > &	error,
		const MFrequency &	mfreq
	)		`[virtual]`

Set the log10(frequency) polynomial coefficients for calculating the flux density and its uncertainty, and the unit (typically "MHz" or "GHz") that the coefficients assume.

Note that errcoeffs does not have to have the same number of terms as lfcoeffs, or any terms at all, and that each term in its polynomial is (errcoeff[order] * pow(log10(freq), order))**2. FluxCalcLogFreqPolynomial(const String& freqUnit, const Vector<Double>& lfcoeffs, const Vector<Double>& errcoeffs);

Set value and error with the expected flux density and its uncertainty (0.0 if unknown) at mfreq.
