NARROW_INPUT
[PDBI\]NARROW_INPUT Q1|Q2|Q3|Q4 Q1|Q2|Q3|Q4
Select the two entries of the PdBI narrow-band correlator. The PdBI re-
ceivers have 4 GHz bandwidth (for each polarization), from IF=4 GHz to
IF=8 GHz. The WIDEX correlator is able to analyse the whole bandwidth,
but the narrow-band correlator can process only two 1 GHz wide bands.
The receiver 4 GHz bandwidth is split into four "quarters":
Q1 = 4.2-5.2 GHz Q2 = 5.0-6.0 GHz
Q3 = 6.0-7.0 GHz Q4 = 6.8-7.8 GHz
and two of them must be selected as inputs to the narrow-band correla-
tor. Any combination is possible. The polarization that is selected de-
pends on the selected quarter:
- the correlator input 1 can only be Q1 HOR, Q2 HOR, Q3 VER, Q4 VER
- the correlator input 2 can only be Q1 VER, Q2 VER, Q3 HOR, Q4 HOR
Example: NARROW_INPUT Q1 Q2 selects Q1 HOR as first input, and Q2 VER as
second input. Simultaneous measurements of the two HOR and VER polariza-
tions is obtained with e.g. NARROW_INPUT Q1 Q1.
