Precision calibration of radio interferometers using redundant baselines
Growing interest in 21 cm tomography has led to the design and construction of broadband radio interferometers with low noise, moderate angular resolution, high spectral resolution, and wide fields of view. With characteristics somewhat different from traditional radio instruments, these interferometers may require new calibration techniques in order to reach their design sensitivities. Self-ca...
متن کاملCalibration of Low-Frequency, Wide-Field Radio Interferometers Using Delay/Delay-Rate Filtering
We present a filtering technique that can be applied to individual baselines of widebandwidth, wide-field interferometric data to geometrically select regions on the celestial sphere that contain primary calibration sources. The technique relies on the Fourier transformation of wide-band frequency spectra from a given baseline to obtain onedimensional “delay images”, and then the transformation...
متن کاملRadio Interferometers with wide bandwidths
The Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Very Large Array are currently being upgraded to operate with wide bandwidths; interferometers dedicated to the measurement of cosmic microwave background anisotropies are being designed with large instantaneous bandwidths for high sensitivity. Interferometers with wide instantaneous bandwidths that do not operate with correlators capable of decompo...
متن کاملPrecision Robot Calibration Using Kinematically Placed Inclinometers
In the field of industrial robotics, many different calibration methods exist to reduce error in the robot system. Locating the manipulator home position is a common calibration technique, which can be divided into three main categories — relative, optimal and leveling based methods. The home position of an industrial manipulator is a position where all joint angles have a pre-defined value (e....
متن کاملRadio Interferometric Calibration Using The SAGE Algorithm
Radio Interferometry is an essential method for astronomical observations. Self-calibration techniques have increased the quality of the radio astronomical observations (and hence the science) by orders of magnitude. Recently, there is a drive towards sensor arrays built using inexpensive hardware and distributed over a wide area acting as radio interferometers. Calibration of such arrays poses...
