Technical Data: 2-element Interferometer
- Baseline: 2400 meters at an azimuth of 62 degrees (E of N).
- Bands: 8.3 GHz (X-band) and 2.25 GHz (S-band) with 35 MHz bandwidth.
- Receivers: Cryogenically cooled, dual frequency, dual polarization. Both X and S bands simultaneously observed in both right and left circular polarizations.
- System temperature: About 35 K in Sband and 45 K in Xband.
- Sensitivity: RMS noise in a 5-minute scan is about 6 mJy in S-band and 10 mJy in X-band for point sources.
- Minimum integration time: 30 seconds.
- Resolution: About 3 arcseconds fringe at X-band and 11 arcseconds at S-band.
