This library is deprecated and no longer supported, as it has been superceded by EveryBeam (see https://git.astron.nl/RD/EveryBeam).
The LOFAR beam library is a stand alone version of the LOFAR station response library.
This package has undergone the same branching process as the DP3 package: it is a continuation of the LOFAR beam library at svn.astron.nl/LOFAR, and was extracted from and branched off LOFAR Release 3.2. The LOFAR beam package will likely not be maintained in the ASTRON repository.
