+===== Beamformer Synthesized Beam Size =====
+at 1GHz the beamsize is about 400 arcseconds
+The equation is beamsize in deg =   (1GHz_beamsize_arcseconds/acseconds per degree)  /  (freq in GHz)
+At 1.296GHz  (400/3600)*1.296 = 0.086 degrees = 308 arcseconds
+The moon is approx 1700 arcseconds in diameter.
+So at 1.296GHz the beamwidth is approx 20% of the Moon's width.
