Possibility of Fast Determination of Radio-Interferometer Parameters

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We propose a method for fast determination and systematic monitoring of certain radio-interferometer parameters (the baseline projection and the mounting-site longitude). The method is based on reception of the emission from point radio sources at certain values of their hour angles with the subsequent processing of measurement results using a developed algorithm. We show that the method is applicable for determining the parameters of radio interferometers with both two- and one-channel receivers.
