Workspace Variable antenna_response

The antenna pattern/response.

This WSV describes the antenna response as a function of polarisation
(pol), frequencue (f), zenith angle (za) and azimuth angle (aa).

Polarisation dimension: If this dimension has size 1, the data are
applied for all polarisations of concern. The data are otherwise used
in sequential order. This signifies that, in general, the first
polarisation "layer" corresponds to the first stokes dimension
etc. An exception is if a polarisation rotation has been applied. In
any case, it is up to the user to ensure that polarisations are
consistently defined.

Frequency dimension: If this dimension has size 1, the data are
applied for all frequencies of concern. The given frequency must be
inside the frequency range of concern. A linear interpolation is
otherwise applied.

Zenith angle dimension: This dimension must always have a size >= 2
The response outside covered grid range is treated as zero. If
antenna_dim equals 1, the data should correspond to the response
integrated in the azimuthal direction.

Azimuth angle dimension: If antenna_dim equals 1, this dimension
must have size 1. A size >= 2 is otherwise required. The response
outside covered grid range is treated as zero.

Usage: Set by the user.
