nenupy.instru.antenna.ant_pol_to_ref(mini_array=0, antenna='Ant01', polarization='NW')[source]

Return the corresponding reference dipole measured during the June 2026 unique antenna campaign. Starting from June 23rd 2026, we measured SST using Mini-Arrays 88, 91, 93, 94, 95 in single antenna mode. We measured the sky transits over ~24hrs, switching antennas every day. We took advantage of the array while these MAs were unused by beamformed observations.

The reference observations are:

Day | Mini-Array | Antenna | Attenuation (dB) | Start | Stop |
