COMMENT This file contains hybrid beam maps constructed from data supplemented
COMMENT with model predictions for the low signal-to-noise pedestals. Data
COMMENT consist of sightings of Jupiter during the first 5 years of WMAP
COMMENT observations. Model predictions were substituted for data at the
COMMENT 3, 4, 6, 8 and 11 dBi levels of K,Ka,Q,V and W, respectively.
COMMENT The hybrid beams provided in this file are for the
COMMENT differencing assembly indicated by the DA keyword. The contents of the
COMMENT four 600x600 arrays are identified as follows from the CTYPE3 value:
COMMENT 1 = beam map for Side A, in mK, antenna temperature
COMMENT 2 = statistical noise for each side A pixel, in mK, antenna temp.
COMMENT Model points are assigned 100% error.
COMMENT 3 = beam map for Side B, in mK, antenna temperature
COMMENT 4 = statistical noise for each side B pixel, in mK, antenna temp.
COMMENT Model points are assigned 100% error.
COMMENT Beam data are provided out to roughly 7.0, 5.5, 5.0, 4.0 and 3.5
COMMENT degrees from beam center for K, Ka, Q, V and W bands respectively.
COMMENT Pixels with no coverage have values of zero. Beam response has not
COMMENT been corrected for the input transmission imbalance (A/B asymmetry).
COMMENT Origin of the focal plane coordinates [Xbeam,Ybeam] is the primary
COMMENT optic axis for either the A or B side; the individual antenna feeds
COMMENT are clustered about this axis.
