* The instantaneous dynamic range is expanded in proportion to the number of
points (n) in the FFT (by roughly 3dB*x, where x=log(n)/log(2)).
** The 1-bit compression mode delivers the primary frequency and phase
information for very long baseline interferometry (with Cluster).
*** FREQUENCY RESOLUTION limited by FFT. A rough calculation of the frequency
resolution can be obtained by dividing the sample rate by the number of
points in the FFT.
For example, using a 2048-point FFT, 11 kHz wideband data
(8-bit compression mode) will have a frequency resolution of 15 Hz.
Using a 1992-point FFT, 90 kHz wideband data (8-bit compression mode)
will have a frequency resolution of 125 Hz.
