Description
AA0.5 requirements:
- one subarray
- 6 stations
- a subarray shall be able to process one station beam from each station
- observing modes:
- correlation (standard)
- form a single PST beam and record beamformed data. (Note: beamforming is implemented by CBF, recording by PST).
What & Why?
Tied-array beam formed observations take the signals from multiple stations from within the LOW array, coherently adding the recovered voltages to provide data in a single 'look direction' (to the data recovered from a classic 'single dish' radio telescope). Such an observing mode, when coupled with an appropriate backend, allows for example Pulsar Timing (PST) observations.
