◮ Entire window is saturated

by as much as 107, or an

  • rder of magnitude above

the EoR

◮ Foreground wedge have

been over fit

◮ Measurement of the EoR

impossible!

Modulation

h(ν) = f(ν) (1 + ∆g cos η0ν) (1) The modulation theorem results in the Fourier transform H(η) = ∆g 2 F(η − η0) + ∆g 2 F(η + η0) + F(η) (2) An order of magnitude estimate of the positive power spectrum

  • f this modified signal is

O(|H(η)|2) ≈ O(|F(η)|2) + O

Recommendations

◮ No frequency structure faster than 8 MHz (125 ns) in

instrument

◮ Frequency structure needs to be lower than 1 part in 105 ◮ Validation of calibration techniques

◮ in the space of the measurement ◮ using incomplete models
