vpmanager.setpbinvpoly - Function



Package synthesis
Module imager
Tool vpmanager


Make a vp/pb as an inverse polynomial


Synopsis
setpbinvpoly(telescope, othertelescope, dopb, coeff, maxrad, reffreq, isthispb, squintdir, squintreffreq, dosquint, paincrement, usesymmetricbeam)


Description
The inverse polynomial describes the inverse of the VP or PB as a polynomial of even powers:

1/VP(x) = $\displaystyle \sum_{i}^{}$coeffi*x2i. (1.22)



Arguments

telescope Which telescope in the MS will use this vp/pb?
Allowed: String
othertelescope If telescope=="OTHER", specify name here
Allowed: String
dopb Should we apply the vp/pb to this telescope's data?
Allowed: Bool
Default: T
coeff Coefficients of even powered terms
Allowed: Vector of Doubles
Default: [0]
maxrad Maximum radial extent of the vp/pb (scales with 1/freq)
Allowed: Quantity
Default: 0.8deg
reffreq Frequency at which maxrad is specified
Allowed: Quantity
Default: 1GHz
isthispb Do these parameters describe a PB or a VP?
Allowed: String: 'PB'|'VP'
squintdir Offset of RR beam from pointing center, azel frame (scales with 1/freq)
Allowed: Measure
Default: Measure
squintreffreq Frequency at which the squint is specified
Allowed: Quantity
Default: 1GHz
dosquint Enable the natural beam squint found in the common vp model
Allowed: Bool
Default: F
paincrement Increment in Parallactic Angle for asymmetric (ie, squinted) vp application
Allowed: Quantity
Default: 360deg
usesymmetricbeam Not currently used
Allowed: Bool
Default: F


Returns
