Improving the Murchison Widefield Array tile model for polarimetry

This paper summarizes the progress to date in improving the Murchison Widefield Array’s (MWA) “tile” model for polarimetry. A simple model that accounts for inter-element mutual coupling is presented which explains the false polarization leakage in Stokes Q (“false Q”) seen when the array is scanned...
