s_fov : primary beam restriction #27

Open kettenis opened 10 months ago

The field of view of an interferometric array can be further restricted by bandwith and/or time smearing, that is the frequency resolution and integration time chosen when correlating the data. This is especially true for VLBI where these correlator parameters almost always restrict the field of view to only part of the primary beam of the primary beam of the individual antennas. This is probably worth adding to the description of s_fov.

This is still to be rephrased
