Description
We present a power spectrum analysis of the simulation LOFAR data. The simulated data include cosmological
signal, foreground contamination, instrument response (UV coverage, observational time, etc...) and system noise.
The foregrounds are fitted out using the Wp method and the power spectrum analysis is performed on the residuals.
We show that after 400 hundred hours of observations with multiple beams we can reconstruct the input power
spectrum reasonably well. We show also that within the first 3 years we will be able to constrain the power
spectrum with a high accuracy.
