Radio Interferometry Principles . Radio Interferometry Signal Processing . ... A radio interferometer consists of a pair of directional antennas that are tuned to receive radio emissions from a source in a desired RF band. ... The antennas are pointed at the radio source of interest and are set up to receive the signal and process it into a form suitable for transmission to the correlator. ... In connected element interferometry, the digital signal goes directly to the correlator. ...

... The two astrometry modes of the FGS are POSITION mode and TRANSFER mode. An FGS in POSITION mode acquires an object in FineLock and tracks it for an extended period of time. An FGS in TRANSFER mode acquires an object and scans the IFOV back and forth along a 45њ diagonal path in detector space to sample the interference pattern fully enough to construct an S-curve. POSITION mode observing with the FGS can determine the parallax, proper motion, and/or reflex motion of a given object. ...
