Data: The data file WG1.dat contains several sets of data delineated by ******* filename ********** where filename refers to the following files:

psf.dat - the point-spread function data. Each line consists of 12 numbers (the measurements on 12 detectors) followed by the coordinates of the point source (azimuth and elevation). Measurements are made at one degree intervals over +- 40 degrees. Thus, there are 6568 (81*81) lines. The data in the range +-30 degrees were used in the study. noise.dat - measurements made with the transmitter turned off. Again, there are 12 numbers on each line followed by two angular coordinates, but these can be ignored. There are 78732 lines. line25.dat - line scan at an estimated signal-to-noise ratio of 37dB line12.dat - line scan at an estimated signal-to-noise ratio of 31dB line6.dat - line scan at an estimated signal-to-noise ratio of 27dB line3.dat - line scan at an estimated signal-to-noise ratio of 22dB line2.dat - line scan at an estimated signal-to-noise ratio of 19dB

Each of the above files contains a scan across the point source at different signal-to-noise ratios. Each scan is in steps of 3 degrees over +-39 degrees at 0 degree elevation (27 measurement positions; again, only +-30 degrees was used in the study). At each position, 600 measurements are taken, giving 16200 (600*27) lines in each file.
