Mueller Matrix Parameters for Radio Telescopes and their Observational Determination
Carl Heiles, Phil Perillat, Michael Nolan +7
Modern digital crosscorrelators permit the simultaneous measurement of all four Stokes parameters. However, the results must be calibrated to correct for the polarization transfer…

All-Stokes Parameterization of the Main Beam and First Sidelobe for the Arecibo Radio Telescope
Carl Heiles, Phil Perillat, Michael Nolan +8
We describe a scheme that characterizes the main beam and sidelobe in all Stokes parameters employing parameters that allow reconstruction of the complete beam patterns and, also,…
