How ALMA is calibrated: I Antenna-based pointing, focus and amplitude calibration

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Here we will discuss which calibrations are needed, how to perform them and how the calibration affect ALMA observations. This first part concentrates on aspects related to a single antenna, namely antenna pointing (including the antenna metrology), focusing, and the amplitude calibration, we also mention the bandpass calibration for single measurements.
