Global Calibration<br />

We are also able to calibrate multiple subbands simultaneously.<br />

Again, just a few lines needed in the parset file..<br />

For example, 10 subbands of our Cygnus A observation:<br />

>Strategy.UseSolver = T<br />

>Step..Solve.CalibrationGroups = [10]<br />

No more than 5-10 subbands (1-2MHz bandwidth) should be used due to<br />

increasing problems with ionosphere & station clock drift.<br />

Global calibration is particularly helpful for fainter fields, where S/N from just one<br />

subband is low.<br />
