Subject: Comparing inputs and outputs between AraSim and IceMC 

Comparing Inputs:

Frequency Lists:

Ara - 83.33MHz - 1066.70 MHz, step = 13.33MHz

IceMC - 200MHz - 1500MHz, step = 10MHz

Number of files read in:

Ara - 1

IceMC - 8

Formating of files:

Ara - Theta, Phi, Gain (dB, thetra), Gain (theta), Phase (theta) 

IceMc - Frequency, Gain (dB)  (Different files cover different thetas and phis)

File Type:

Ara - .txt

IceMC - no suffix (file with 2 columns of text)

 

Other notes for IceMC inputs:

IceMC reads in 8 different files for gain.

vv_0  hh_0  vh_0  hv_0  vv_el  vv_az  hh_el  hh_az

Found in ../anitaBuiltTool/components/icemc/data

vv_0 = gains for vertical polarization

hh_0 = gains for horizontal polarization

vh_0 = gains for v → h cross polarization

hv_0 = gains for h → v cross polarization

vv_el = v polarization, e angle

vv_az = v polarization, a angle

hh_el = h polarization, e angle

hh_az = h polarization a angle

for e angle and a angle  in 

       0. 0

  1. 5

  2. 10

  3. 20

  4. 30

  5. 45

  6. 90

(iterates 1 to 6)

 

Comparing Outputs:

IceMC - veff is in second column in veff+runName+.txt file (in the outputDirectory directory)

Ara - veff is at the bottom of the AraOut.txt file
