◆ transfer

const COMPLEX8FrequencySeries* PulsarDetectorResponse::transfer

The frequency-dependent transfer function of the interferometer, in ADC counts per unit strain amplitude at any given frequency; if absent, the response will be given in raw strain rather than ADC output.

◆ site

const LALDetector* PulsarDetectorResponse::site

A structure storing site and polarization information, used to compute the polarization response and the propagation delay; if absent, the response will be computed to the plus mode waveform with no time delay.

◆ ephemerides

const EphemerisData* PulsarDetectorResponse::ephemerides

A structure storing the positions, velocities, and accelerations of the Earth and Sun centres of mass, used to compute the propagation delay to the solar system barycentre; if absent, the propagation delay will be computed to the Earth centre (rather than a true barycentre)

◆ heterodyneEpoch

LIGOTimeGPS PulsarDetectorResponse::heterodyneEpoch

A reference time for heterodyned detector output time series, where the phase of the mixing signal is zero.

This parameter is only used when generating detector output time series with nonzero heterodyne frequency f0. (Note: This should really be a parameter stored in the TimeSeries structure along with f0, but it isnt, so we have to add it here.)
