Single Antenna Non Unity gain Test #29

Open ronniyjoseph opened 4 years ago

ronniyjoseph commented 4 years ago

Set all antennas to 1 and offset the gain of one antenna to g ~ 2 (not too large, pending on your solver you might not be able to find such large offsets)

Does corrcal find that one antenna with off-gains? If so that is an indication that corrcal gives sensible results.

Currently running: Stochastic point source sky: 40mJy - 10Jy (power law distributed) Modelled sources: >8 Jy Two redundant Hexes - MWA style Single antenna gain: g=2

@ronniyjoseph I opened #26 not knowing you are performing this test. Since this test can be conducted with different parameters (different g, no sources, with sources, etc.), I am thinking of using #26 to consolidate all tests that are related to non-unity gains. What do you think? What sort of variation in the testing parameters we should do in your opinion?
