# Continuum Calibration

The description above assumes that the source signal comes only from the (so-called) signal sideband. This is of course not true for continuum radiation. If we neglect spectral index effects, one can derive the proper calibration of a continuum source from the description above. should be multiplied by

Similarly for spectral line observations, if you are interested in the image band, should be multiplied by
