Baseband Bandpass Shape
• Procedure– Samples amplitude phase-cal at
for all expected tones
• Analysis– Plots Amplitude versus
frequency
Baseband LSB Image Rejection
• Procedure– Sample amplitude of expected phase-
cal tones in USB (ampU)– Sample amplitude of false images in
LSB (ampL)
• Analysis– Rejection is 20*log10(ampL/ampU)
• Solid line with solid points
– Sensitivity is 20*log10(1/ampU)• Dotted line
– Plot as a function of frequency
• USB Procedure and Analysis is similar
Phase-cal Spurious Signals
• Procedure– Sample amplitude of expected phase-
cal tones in LSB and USB (amp)– Sample amplitude of false images in
LSB and USB for four states (false):• Phase-cal off, LO on• LO off, phase-cal on• Phase-cal 5 MHz disconnected, LO on
– Switching• Automatic• Manual with fs,prompt prompting (5
prompts)
• Analysis– Rejection is 20*log10(false/amp)
• Solid lines with points– Sensitivity is 20*log10(1/amp)
• Dotted line– Plot as a function of frequency
Phase-cal power
• Procedure– Sample Tsys with phase-cal on
(PCon)– Sample Tsys with phase-cal off
(PCoff)– Switching
• Automated• Manual with fs.prompt prompting (5
times)
• Analysis– 100*(PCon-PCoff)/PCoff– Uncertainties propagated

Sampler Statistics
• Procedure– Collect sampler statistics from
each channel
• Analysis– Plot statistics with a priori
expected levels (dashed line)– Displayed as raw levels or
deviations from nominal
Stability Tests
• Procedure– Orientation-dependent variations
• While the antenna is moved over its range of motion, sample cable and phase-cal
– Short-term variations• With the antenna stationary, sample, at a
very high rate, cable and phase-cal
– Diurnal variations• For a 24 hour period, sample, wx, cable,
phase-cal, RX parameters, fmout-gps, Tsys
• Analysis– Plot program plots whatever is found
in the log– Differential phases within bands can
be plotted
