◆ antenna1d_matrix()

void antenna1d_matrix	(	Sparse &	H,
		const Index &	antenna_dim,
		ConstMatrixView	antenna_los,
		const GriddedField4 &	antenna_response,
		ConstVectorView	za_grid,
		ConstVectorView	f_grid,
		const Index	n_pol,

◆ antenna2d_simplified()

void antenna2d_simplified	(	Sparse &	H,
		const Index &	antenna_dim,
		ConstMatrixView	antenna_los,
		const GriddedField4 &	antenna_response,
		ConstVectorView	za_grid,
		ConstVectorView	aa_grid,
		ConstVectorView	f_grid,
		const Index	n_pol,
		const Index	do_norm
	)

antenna2d_simplified

A first function for setting up the response matrix for 2D antenna cases.

Following the ARTS definitions, a bi-linear variation (in za and aa dimensions) for both antenna pattern and pencil beam radiances should be assumed here. This function does not handle this. It performs instead a series of 1D antenna calculations and "sums up" the results. In this summation, both antenna pattern and radiances are assumed to constant in the azimuthal direction around each point in aa_grid (corresponding to mblock_aa_grid). That is, for azimuth, a step-wise function is used instead of a piecewise linear one.

Parameters

H	The antenna transfer matrix
antenna_dim	As the WSV with the same name
antenna_los	As the WSV with the same name
antenna_response	As the WSV with the same name
za_grid	Zenith angle grid for pencil beam calculations
aa_grid	Azimuth angle grid for pencil beam calculations
f_grid	Frequency grid for monochromatic calculations
n_pol	Number of polarisation states
do_norm	Flag whether response should be normalised

◆ find_effective_channel_boundaries()

void find_effective_channel_boundaries	(	Vector &	fmin,
		Vector &	fmax,
		const Vector &	f_backend,
		const ArrayOfGriddedField1 &	backend_channel_response,
		const Numeric &	delta,
		const Verbosity &	verbosity
	)

Calculate channel boundaries from instrument response functions.

This function finds out the unique channel boundaries from f_backend and backend_channel_response. This is not a trivial task, since channels may overlap, or may be sorted in a strange way. The function tries to take care of all that. If channels overlap, they are combined to one continuous frequency region. therefore the number of elements in the output vectors fmin and fmax can be lower than the number of elements in f_backend and backend_channel_response.

The function also does consistency checking on the two input variables.

The output vectors fmin and fmax will be monotonically increasing.

Author: Stefan Buehler

Parameters

[out]	fmin	Vector of lower boundaries of instrument channels.
[out]	fmax	Vector of upper boundaries of instrument channels.
[in]	f_backend	Nominal backend frequencies.
[in]	backend_channel_response	Channel response, relative to nominal frequencies.
[in]	delta	Extra margin on both sides of each band. Has a default value of 0.

Returns a 1D gaussian response

y is the gaussian function on grid x, with max at x0 and width following fwhm.

Parameters

y	Calculated response.

◆ gaussian_response_autogrid()

		Vector &	y,
		const Numeric &	x0,
		const Numeric &	fwhm,
		const Numeric &	xwidth_si,
		const Numeric &	dx_si
	)

gaussian_response_autogrid

Returns a 1D gaussian response with a suitable grid

First a grid is generated. The grid is si*[-xwidth_si:dx:xwidth_si], where si is the "standard deviation" corresponding to the FWHM, and dx is biggest possible value < dx_si, to enusre an symmetric grid wth end points exactly at xwidth_si. That is, width and spacing of the grid is specified in terms of number of standard deviations. If xwidth_si is set to 2, the response will cover about 95% the complete response. For xwidth_si=3, about 99% is covered.

y is the gaussian function on grid x, with max at x0 and width following fwhm.

Parameters

x	Grid generated.
y	Calculated response.
x0	The x-position of response centre/max.
fwhm	The full width at half-maximum of the response
xwidth_si	The one-sided width of x. See above.
dx_si	The grid step size of x. See above.

f_mixer	The frequency grid of the mixer
lo	The local oscillator frequency
filter	The sideband filter data. See sideband_response for format and constraints.

◆ sensor_integration_vector()

void sensor_integration_vector	(	VectorView	h,
		ConstVectorView	f,
		ConstVectorView	x_f_in,
		ConstVectorView	x_g_in
	)

sensor_integration_vector

Calculates the (row) vector that multiplied with an unknown (column) vector approximates the integral of the product between the functions represented by the two vectors: h*g = integral( f(x)*g(x) dx )

Basic principle follows Eriksson et al., Efficient forward modelling by matrix representation of sensor responses, Int. J. Remote Sensing, 27, 1793-1808, 2006. However, while in Eriksson et al. the product between f*g is assumed to vary linearly between the grid point, the expressions applied here are more advanced and are completly exact as long as f and g are piece-wise linear functions. The product f*g is then a quadratic funtion between the grid points.

Parameters

h	The multiplication (row) vector.
f	The values of function f(x).
x_f_in	The grid points of function f(x). Must be increasing.
x_g_in	The grid points of function g(x). Can be increasing or decreasing. Must cover a wider range than x_f (in both ends).

		ConstVectorView	f,
		ConstVectorView	x_f,
		ConstVectorView	x_g_in
	)

sensor_integration_vector

Calculates the (row) vector that multiplied with an unknown (column) vector approximates the integral of the product between the functions represented by the two vectors.

E.g. h*g = integral( f(x)*g(x) dx )

See Eriksson et al., Efficient forward modelling by matrix representation of sensor responses, Int. J. Remote Sensing, 27, 1793-1808, 2006, for details.

Parameters

h	The multiplication (row) vector.
f	The values of function f(x).
x_f_in	The grid points of function f(x). Must be increasing.
x_g_in	The grid points of function g(x). Can be increasing or decreasing. Must cover a wider range than x_ft (in both ends).

		ConstVectorView	f,
		ConstVectorView	x_f,
		ConstVectorView	x_g,
		const Numeric	x1,
		const Numeric	x2
	)

sensor_summation_vector

Calculates the (row) vector that multiplied with an unknown (column) vector approximates the sum of the product between the functions at two points.

E.g. h*g = f(x1)*g(x1) + f(x2)*g(x2)

The typical application is to set up the combined response matrix for mixer and sideband filter.

See Eriksson et al., Efficient forward modelling by matrix representation of sensor responses, Int. J. Remote Sensing, 27, 1793-1808, 2006, for details.

No normalisation of the response is made.

Parameters

h	The summation (row) vector.
f	Sideband response.
x_f	The grid points of function f(x).
x_g	The grid for spectral values (normally equal to f_grid)
x1	Point 1
x2	Point 2

spectrometer_matrix

Constructs the sparse matrix that multiplied with the spectral values gives the spectra from the spectrometer.

ch_response	Corresponds directly to WSV backend_channel_response.
sensor_f	Corresponds directly to WSV sensor_response_f_grid.

◆ stokes2pol()

void stokes2pol	(	ArrayOfVector &	s2p,
		const Numeric &	nv
	)

stokes2pol

Sets up an array of vectors to convert the Stokes vector to different polarsiations.

The measured value is the sum of the element product of the conversion vector and the Stokes vector. Schematically:

y[iout] = sum( s2p[i].*iy(iin,joker)

The order of the vectors follow the coding described for sensor_pol, but zero-based indexing is used here. That is, the first vector (s2p[0]) corresponds to I.

Trailing zeros are not stored, to indicate the required value of stokes_dim*.

Vectors for I, Q, U and V are always normalised to have unit length (one value is 1, the remaining ones zero). The first element of remaining vectors is set to nv (and other values normalised accordingly), to allow that calibartion and other normalisation effects can be incorporated.

Parameters

s2p	Array of conversion vectors.
nv	Norm value for polarisations beside I, Q, U and V.
