TelCal Phasing Engine description Draft Robert Lucas

Inputs 1.Source model, TBD form: – List of point-source components (from e.g. a cleaned map) – Visibility uv data 2.Previous scan’s data (ASDM) – Channel averaged data – WVR data – Full resolution data is not used.

Output 1.WVR coefficients (WVR engine) – May be not on every scan (if one 30s subscan per scan) 2.Phase correction to be applied (next scan) – For each antenna, baseband. 3. Quality control – based on correlation of the phased output with test antenna.

Processing (1) Normal WVR engine – Its output is used by the correlator to implement the fast loop, – The correlator applies the correction to the LO4 phases, not to the data as delays. – Nothing to do in TelCal (implemented) – May be not necessary every scan.

Processing (2) Phasing engine – Implements the slow loop, in TelCal – Compute, from source model, the model visibilities during previous scan. – Divide observed visibilities by the model ones – Solve from antenna gains: Weights as usual (1/Tsys**2), the test ant gets the sum of weights of all others Antenna amplitudes (efficiencies) can be used for quality control Antenna phases are the desired main output, they are the error in the correction Delta_psi that was applied previously – New corrections are Psi_new = Psi_old + Delta_Psi – Initiate the process with zero correction Psi_old=0 – Need to keep track of the previous correction (in previous result).

Processing (3) Evaluate efficiency: – The phase correction increments should be small (slow instrumental phase drifts, after the first scan) – Assuming that one of the correlator inputs is not a real antenna, but the sum of the others: The amplitude gain on the test antenna should be N times that of the others (its noise is root(N) larger) The amplitude gains on all other antennas should be equal (detect pointing, focus errors, decorrelation for large baselines)

Needed changes in infrastructure Enumerations: – add one intent, a result type, … Add a CalResult table in ASDM (e.g. CalPhasing or CalVLBI) – New antenna phase corrections /antenna, baseband – Antenna amplitude gains, for quality control – Need to define this early (but should be OK as these are only additions). More difficult to change afterwards so do not make mistakes or omissions.

Existing parts WVR engine (no changes needed in TelCal) – Recent experiments validated the on-line correction… Antenna gain solver – Exists and is used in many TelCal engines.

New parts Description of new table for ASDM model – Input to the UML model is needed for code generator. Model visibility calculation – Calculate u,v for each baseline – Interpolate input uv image to these u,v; or – DFT of input map multiplied by primary beam. Fill output table with phase corrections & amplitude gains – Compute gain ratio for test antenna.

Testing 1.Need some real data, and the model for this data – The model can be built by calibration and imaging these same data (!), the calibration gain table can be used as a comparison later; – A point source (quasar) is a good start (no model needed); hopefully get some real data on the true target (SciVer data band 3 and 6 are available…) 2.Test the engine on the uncalibrated data – The output corrections should match the calibration gain table, for each scan taken individually 3.We need a utility (like applyWVR) to simulate the correlator actions in the input asdm – Apply the WVR corrections as phase commands, not as pathlength corrections – Apply the phase corrections. Tthe correction should be ~0 after a few scans when the utility has been run on the previous scans – That utility could, may be, add the test antenna to the asdm. 4.Need to plot result: phase corrections vs time and antenna gains vs time
