POLARIZATION

Miriad supports polarization observations with the SMA. So far, circular-polarization observations using single receivers with quarter-wave plates sample LCP and RCP in a Walsh cycle for the SMA correlator to produce four polarized correlations (LL, LR, RL, and RR) on each baseline. The reduction of the polarization data produced from this mode has been supported in Miriad .
