COVER INFORMATION Station: JODRELL2 (Code Jb ) Experiment: Effelsberg linear pol. wideband receiver test Exp. Code: FR064 Schedule Version: 2.00 Processed by SCHED version: 11.60 Release 11.6; April 2020 PI: Benito Marcote Address: JIVE Oude Hoogeveensedijk 4 7991PD Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31 521 596 508 EMAIL: marcote@jive.eu Fax: Phone during observation: +31 521 596 508 Observing mode: Notes: Test between Ef (linear and circular) receivers 2048 Mbps, L+R, 2-bit sampling, 32 MHz filters COVER LETTER: This is a test for how the wideband receiver at Effelsberg behaves when compared to the traditional receiver. The antenna will switch from one to another and we will compare the sensitivity and how PolConvert works (the wideband receiver uses linears). The schedule contains blocks of 30 min (with a 2-min gap in between), where Effelsberg will switch receivers. The bright source J0359+5057 will be used as fringe-finder and main calibrator. The source J0350+5138 (~50 mJy at 1.6 deg) will be used as phase-referenced target. This will allow us to verify how the PolConvert terms are converted in phase-referencing.

For common VLBI bands, this is: 327 MHz 117. deg 610 MHz 81. deg 1.6 GHz 45. deg 2.3 GHz 36. deg 5.0 GHz 23. deg 8.4 GHz 17. deg 15.0 GHz 12. deg 22.0 GHz 9. deg 43.0 GHz 6. deg
