Radio 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...
متن کاملOrdered-subsets Acceleration of Radio Interferometric Calibration: Os-sage Calibration Algorithm
The main objective of this work is to accelerate the MaximumLikelihood (ML) estimation procedure for radio interferometric direction dependent self-calibration. We introduce the OS-SAGE radio interferometric calibration method, as a combination of the Ordered-Subsets (OS) method with the Space Alternating Generalized Expectation maximization (SAGE) calibration technique. The OS method speeds up...
متن کاملDistributed Radio Interferometric Calibration
Increasing data volumes delivered by a new generation of radio interferometers require computationally efficient and robust calibration algorithms. In this paper, we propose distributed calibration as a way of improving both computational cost as well as robustness in calibration. We exploit the data parallelism across frequency that is inherent in radio astronomical observations that are recor...
متن کاملEstimation of the Radio Channel Parameters using the SAGE Algorithm
This paper presents the problem of estimating the parameters of a given number of superimposed signals, as is the case of the received signal in wireless communications. Based on the description of the received signal in the frequency domain, one version of the SAGE (Space-Alternating Generalized ExpectationMaximization) algorithm is presented, allowing the estimation, for each impinging ray, t...
متن کاملData Multiplexing in Radio Interferometric Calibration
New and upcoming radio interferometers will produce unprecedented amounts of data that demand extremely powerful computers for processing. This is a limiting factor due to the large computational power and energy costs involved. Such limitations restrict several key data processing steps in radio interferometry. One such step is calibration where systematic errors in the data are determined and...
