dynamicsched.setphasecalinfo

Provide parameters which determine how well the phase calibration works

Synopsis setphasecalinfo(phasecalmethod, baselevel, fraclevel, windvelocity, timescale)

Description The residual phase errors after calibration by the relevant method are a topic of debate, especially for radiometric calibration. For radiometric phase calibration, we assume the residual phase errors are given by

$\displaystyle \sigma_{\phi}^{}$ = $\displaystyle \sqrt{b^2 + f^2 \cdot D_{\phi}( v t ) }$ ,

(1.35)

where b is some base error level related to the radiometer sensitivity, f is the fraction of atmospheric phase errors which are not corrected, D is the phase structure function, v is the wind velocity, and t is a time scale for the atmospheric phase errors.

Arguments

`phasecalmethod`	Phasecal method to use (only RADIOMETRIC works at the moment
	`Allowed:`	`'RADIOMETRIC'\|'FASTSWITCH'`
	`Default:`	`'RADIOMETRIC'`
`baselevel`	Basic accuracy of the phase correction (in pathlength)
	`Allowed:`	`Quantity`
	`Default:`	`'50um'`
`fraclevel`	Fraction of the atmospheric phase errors which are not removed
	`Allowed:`	`Float`
	`Default:`	`0.10`
`windvelocity`	Velocity of winds aloft
	`Allowed:`	`Quantity`
	`Default:`	`'10m/s'`
`timescale`	Timescale of the atmospheric phase errors
	`Allowed:`	`Quantity`
	`Default:`	`'30s'`

Returns Bool
