Radio fft channel labels: FFT channel spacing uses endpoint-inclusive rather than periodic bins · case 03

The adapter reports an incorrect baseband frequency while other fields remain valid.

Case contract

An even-length complex radio spectrum has N channels and bandwidth B. Unshifted bin k has signed index k below N/2 and k-N otherwise, including negative Nyquist. After fftshift index j denotes j-N/2. Local oscillator L translates baseband to sky frequency. Output fields are defined by: signed_bin = d['k'] if d['k']<d['N']//2 else d['k']-d['N']; baseband_frequency = (d['k'] if d['k']<d['N']//2 else d['k']-d['N'])*d['B']/d['N']; shifted_frequency = (d['j']-d['N']//2)*d['B']/d['N']; sky_frequency = d['L']+(d['k'] if d['k']<d['N']//2 else d['k']-d['N'])*d['B']/d['N']; shifted_index = (d['k']+d['N']//2)%d['N']; channel_width = d['B']/d['N']

Why this case matters

Catalog, detector, sky-coordinate, and spectroscopy adapters must preserve the association between numeric coordinates and their declared reference conventions.
