Inferring radio beams from sparse sampling patterns: a case study with the Murchison Widefield Array

Michael J. Wilensky, Aman Chokshi

Accurate primary-beam models are essential for high-dynamic-range radio experiments, particularly searches for the redshifted 21-cm signal from the Epoch of Reionisation, where bea…
