that yields a somewhat conservative fit to the Ladd data
above. The yellow limit is Tsys[max], the red limit is Tsys[max]+150.
3.3. MOPS configurations
MOPS is a spectrometer implemented as a digital filter bank rather than a
correlator. Note that for historical reasons, it is often and throughout the
community referred to as the correlator as well.
