Radio Source Tracking Difference between maximum and minimum levels Movement of main source Side Lobe Movement of strong source Movement of the source within the main beam is negligible, but strong source Main Peak in a sidelobe could modulate the signal by the slewing frequency of 0.39Hz

Filter Settings Power Central Filter Frequencies Frequency • Signal passes through a rack of six channel boards. • Filters on these boards are used to sample different parts of the signal. • For IPS, these filters are set to 1.8MHz wide with central frequencies such as to cover a bandwidth of 5.4MHz. We can/could only use three channel boards: Data rate too high for more!
