Signal

class MonitorControl.Signal(name=None, parent_signal=None, beam=None, pol=None, IF_type=None)

Bases: object

Class for type of signal passing through a Port object.

A signal is derived from nothing (or the ether, if you like) or from another signal. The parent signal is more generic. In the most general case it has two complex polarized components as received by a feed.

Core signal property is ‘beam’. After the two polarizations have been separated, the signals have a ‘pol’ property. After being down-converted (mixed) it has an ‘IF’ property.

Signals carry some FITS data, namely ‘BEAM’, ‘fechl-pol’, ‘IF’ and ‘ifname’.
