In UVFITS, AIPS AN antenna table, the columns POLAA and POLAB should be updated:
POLAA 1E degrees Position angle feed A
POLAB 1E degrees Position angle feed B
The value of the POLAA column shall be the orientation of feed A, assumed independent
of IF, given in degrees. Similarly, the POLABcolumn shall contain the feed orientation for feed B.
SKA-Low stations will each have a rotation applied, meaning the antennas X and Y pols no longer line up with N-E.
The angle will be written in the
uv_config.yaml
file as such:This information needs to be written to
UVFITS
From AIPS Memo 117.

Need to update
RECEPTOR_ANGLE
column of theFEED
table of a measurement set. https://safe.nrao.edu/wiki/bin/view/ALMA/ReceptorAnglesThese angles are stored in radians. If there are multiple receiver bands in a measurement set, then multiple angles will be shown.
SDP Visibility
Not supported in the SDP Visibilty data model.
Miriad
No idea what keywords would need to change.
UVX
Add
station_rotation
dataset toantennas/attrs
.
