- Single Field
Classical mode for interferometers. Alternate between on-source
cross-correlation scans and phase calibration scans. Switching can be
quite fast if needed, to follow atmospheric phase variations.
- Multi Field Mosaics
Same as above, but on-source cross-correlation scans are taken at
nearby, pre-defined positions in the sky. Alternate between
on-source and phase calibration scans.
- On-The-Fly Mosaics
The on-source cross-correlations are taken while the antennas drift on
the sky along a pre-defined pattern. Every so many scans, phase
calibration scans are done.
