... the average spectra was computed for each band. the rms/mean by channel was computed for each band. ... The rfi mask was used to compute the total power for each band. ... interim correlator 9 level sampling, 1 second spectra, 25 Mhz bw, 1024, centered at 1385. take data for 4200 seconds. rms/mean computed over the 4200 seconds and then a mask was created using a linear fit to rms/mean. total power was computed using the above mask. the spectrum of the total power was also computed. ...
... 2.3 Data acquisition Spectra generated by the Multibeam correlator contain the usual structure seen in spectra from other H i instruments: a bandpass spectrum which is the sum of the sky , ground and receiver temperatures multiplied by the product of the filters in the receiver chain; superimposed on this is a noise ... Note also that sources extended much beyond ,40 arcmin can be imaged poorly in HIPASS images because of the bandpass sidelobe effect described in Section 3.3. ...
