- Beam-throw is depending on wobbling frequency.
At 2 Hz, the maximum throw is
- Standard phase duration: 2 sec for spectral line observations, 0.25 sec
for continuum observations.
Unnecessarily large wobbler throws should be avoided, since they introduce
a loss of gain, particularly at the higher frequencies, and imply a loss
of observing efficiency (more dead time).
