uv sampling of PSA32 and MWA32 are very similar in scale and coverage density, with baselines between a few and 1000 m, but are very different from larger instruments like the CRH/CCA (which made the majority of the southern hemisphere flux measurements at 150 MHz), whose shortest baseline was 100 m. For this reason we focus here on a comparison between PAPER and MWA. The uv coverage is shown at a single 150 MHz channel which is representative for the Culgoora 1 MHz passband. Both PAPER and MWA images were made over ~100 MHz of bandwidth, and thus have ~100 times more uniform uv coverage in multi-frequency synthesis images.
