Standard Configurations

  Table 1 lists the more commonly used autocorrelation configurations. If there are any missing, check the list of more unusual configurations in section 7. They are in order of Receiver. The standard configuration numbers need not be remembered; the VAX prompts only for the bandwidth.

Most of these configurations use 2-bit Autocorrelation, with standard subband overlaps of 17.5 MHz. They also use a centre second IF frequency of 1.5 GHz, the centre of the IF passband. However, it is possible to change this by setting up a new configuration in advance (see support scientist beforehand). The channel spacing can be used to give the frequency resolution; the following table gives the default resolution (Natural weighting). More information on resolution can be found in section 8.
