Description

Until recently, one out of every eight channels in an MWA observation were considered unreliable due to a quirk of the critically sampled polyphase filter bank.

The regular spacing of these channels has obscured large regions of the 21cm power spectrum, limiting the EoR experiment.

Recent upgrades to receiver and correlator hardware have enabled oversampling, which offers a much smoother coarse channel bandpass.

In this talk, we'll provide an update on recent developments in MWA data reduction and compare 2025 EoR results against previous seasons.
