In situ measurement of MWA primary beam variation using ORBCOMM
We provide the first in situ measurements of antenna element (tile) beam shapes of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), a low radio-frequency interferometer and an SKA precursor. Most current MWA processing pipelines use an assumed beam shape, errors in which can cause absolute and relative flux den...
