What frequency grid are you running on in the two cases? If you have sensor_do 
and backend_do your output frequencies will be determined by you instrument 
backend, while if you have sensor_do = false it will be given by f_grid.

Could you attach your Q file?

Subject: [Qpack] monochromatic pencil beam calculation

Hi everybody,

I am used to simulate ground-based microwave spectra with qpack (22GHz to 58 
GHz).

I normally define a double side band average but now I would like to test my 
simulations with the assumption of monochromatic pencil beam.

I keep the same qpack code and I only changed the variable Q.SENSOR_DO to false 
instead of true. However I obtain unreasonable
brightness temperature in the most opaque channels of the O2 absorption band.

Here is the spectrum that I simulate with the double side band average:

   37.1335
   36.2098
   31.8496
   23.8967
   21.4893
   18.8657
   17.9993
  109.5801
  151.6191
  249.6631
  278.5141
  283.6000
  283.8424
  283.9169

whereas this is what I obtain with a monochromatic pencil beam calculation:
   36.9074
   37.6239
   36.9598
   35.3325
   33.2136
   30.9684
   28.8201
   26.8801
   25.1884
   23.7449
   22.5305
   21.5187
   20.6823
   19.9959

I obtain 19K instead of 283 K for the most opaque channels, this is weird (the 
last 7 channels).

Does anyone see what the problem is, I probably did not define all the 
variables needed, I just turned out the SENSOR_DO variable..

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

Pauline
