ska_ost_senscalc.common.beam

Module holding functions useful to the MidCalculator

ska_ost_senscalc.common.beam.calculate_weighting(weighting_input: WeightingInput) → WeightingResult

A function to calculate weighting factor, surface brightness sensitivity conversion factor, beam size and confusion noise based on a weighting and confusion noise lookup tables for a single frequency.

Parameters:

weighting_input – WeightingInput structure containing all the parameters required to filter the lookup tables with and the declination and frequency used in the calculations.

Returns:

WeightingResult structure containing the weighting factor, SBS conversion factor(s), confusion noise(s) (for Mid and Low) and beam size(s)
