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. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...
