      SKA needs to self-calibrate its observations to compensate for DDEs. The physics of the observation dictates that these DDEs are spatially smooth. Exploiting spatial smoothness will reduce the number of degrees of freedom in calibration, thereby mitigating calibration artefacts like ghosts.

    Description

      In DD imaging, there are two distinct approaches to DD corrections: screen-based and facet-based. In calibration, screens are usually derived from DD gains in discrete directions. IDGCal attempts to solve for screens (spatially smooth DD gains) directly. We want to

      1. demonstrate that direct estimation of screens is possible on a per frequency channel basis and
      2. extend IDGCal with spectral smoothing of solutions.

      This will allow us to compare a screen-based approach to calibration with a facet-based approach to calibration in a future PI.

      As a stretch goal of this ticket, we want to onboard a script that fits screens to DD calibration solutions obtained for discrete directions.
