Meaning of `f_min` in the `SpectralInformation` #449

Open jktjkt opened 1 year ago

Right now in the JSON format, the first carrier is placed at f_min + spacing. That's not intuitive because users would typically expect them to start at f_min as the first central frequency (or, possibly, as the lowest passband edge frequency as the docs mention the edge at some places). However, doing that in the existing legacy-JSON would lead to backward-incompatible change.
