Structure for storing MWA antennas (tiles without polarisation) information from the metafits file

Fields

ant: u32

This is the antenna number. Nominally this is the field we sort by to get the desired output order of antenna. X and Y have the same antenna number. This is the sorted ordinal order of the antenna.None e.g. 0…N-1

tile_id: u32

Numeric part of tile_name for the antenna. Each pol has the same value e.g. tile_name “tile011” hsa tile_id of 11

tile_name: String

Human readable name of the antenna X and Y have the same name

rfinput_x: Rfinput

Reference to the X pol rf_input

rfinput_y: Rfinput

Reference to the Y pol rf_input

electrical_length_m: f64

Note: the next 4 values are from the rfinput of which we have X and Y, however these values are the same for each pol so can be safely placed in the antenna struct for efficiency

Electrical length in metres for this antenna and polarisation to the receiver.

north_m: f64

Antenna position North from the array centre (metres)

east_m: f64

Antenna position East from the array centre (metres)

height_m: f64

Antenna height from the array centre (metres)

Trait Implementations
