Calibration of gravitational radiation antenna by dynamic Newton field.
Abstract
A method is presented of calibrating antennas for gravitational radiation. The method, which used the dynamic Newton field of a rotating body, is suitable in experiments for frequencies up to several hundred hertz. What is more, the method requires no hardware inside the vacuum chamber of the antenna and is particularly convenient for calibration of low-temperature antenna systems.
