The beam pattern and the polarization characteristics . of the radio telescope RATAN-600 . The Mueller matrix elements was computed via formulas [1]: . ... The BP were computed by the aperture method, proceeding from the fild distribution in the aperture of the primary mirror. The components of the main and cross-polarization components of the electric field in the vertical aperture of the primary mirror was computed in Frenel diffraction approximation. ...

This widget allows you to offset the telescope. ... Offset type : one of "Object Arc", "Object Arc XY" or "Boresight". ... This is motion on the sky or instrument, so don't worry about cos(dec). ... If you want to move that point (e.g. center your object along a different bit of the slit), then use a boresight offset. ... Note that a +X object xy offset will move the sky in the -X direction on the focal plane, because you are centering something in the +X direction on the boresight. ...

... Astrophysics Group . ... MRAO Telescopes . ... A radio telescope consists of one or more directional receiving aerials connected to very sensitive amplifiers. Since radio wavelengths range from millimetres to about 10 metres, the actual form of the aerials can vary greatly; many are parabolic dishes with very precise surfaces, while others, like the Cambridge Low-Frequency Synthesis Telescope (right), are similar to television aerials. ...
