Neutral hydrogen line measurements

H1 line measurements were performed on 14.04.2019 using 4m parabol dish.

Antenna was tracking targets with 30s direction update rate.

LNA noise figure was approximately 0.4dB to 0.6dB

IQ-data was sampled using 2Ms/s rate with RF center frequency of 1420.400MHz

Resulting images were calculated for IQ-data of 200M samples.

Used FFT window length is 1024 samples.

Sun noise is used as reference for responce equalization. Sun noise level is approximately +13.0dB compared to cold sky.
