JSON Implementation of Time-Frequency Radio Catalogues: TFCat
Monday 13 February 2023, by Baptiste Cecconi
TFCat (Time-Frequency Catalogue) is a data interchange format based on JSON. It defines several types of JSON objects and the manner in which they are combined to represent data about time-frequency features of a time spectrogram (a.k.a. dynamic spectrum), their properties, and their temporal and spectral extents.
