Test experiment s2011a. Observing stations: Mg, Ws Nominal start time: 2022.01.18_21:05:00 Nominal stop time: 2022.01.18_21:16:00 Start: 2022.018.21:05:00 End: 2022.018.21:16:00 Stations: mg,ws # Needed for CDDIS software Goal: to test a fine feature in the complex bandpass in order to improve phase calibration. The feasibility of "freezing" of a non-linear feature for processing consecutive observations will be investigated. If non-linear features are indeed stable, then this can be used as an a priori for polarization bandpass calibration. In that case only a phase offset and a phase rate per IF can be adjusted. The reduction of degrees of freedom will improve robustness of polarization bandpass determination. Success criteria: to determine non-linearity in phase and amplitude bandpass with a high fidelity. Two sources will be observed: 0133+476 for 40 sec and NRAO150 for 10 minutes. NRAO150 has the correlated flux density 3.346 Jy at baselines longer than 5000 km. SNR > 1000 is expected.
