Images constructed from the same observation with our four different cases. Top left: No RFI contamination. Top right: TABASCAL fully removes the RFI and recovers the astronomical signal with comparable image noise to the uncontaminated data. Bottom left and right: the images from perfect 3σ flagging and AOFLAGGER respectively, showing significant striping due to residual RFI contamination. The mean RFI S/N in this data was 1.8, showing that significant issues occur for traditional flagging methods even at weak RFI. Here, a perfect 3σ flagging means that any RFI with true amplitude greater than 3× the noise is perfectly removed.
