moon_planning [2019/11/06 01:27] – [Beamformer Synthesized Beam Size] jrsetimoon_planning [2019/11/06 01:29] (current) – jrseti
Line 12: Line 12:
 at 1GHz the beamsize is about 400 arcseconds at 1GHz the beamsize is about 400 arcseconds
    
-The equation is beamsize in deg = ((1GHz_beamsize_arcseconds)/(acseconds per degree))/(freq in GHz)+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 At 1.296GHz  (400/3600)*1.296 = 0.086 degrees = 308 arcseconds
  
 The moon is approx 1700 arcseconds in diameter. The moon is approx 1700 arcseconds in diameter.
 +
 So at 1.296GHz the beamwidth is approx 20% of the Moon's width. So at 1.296GHz the beamwidth is approx 20% of the Moon's width.
