Accuracy and resolving power of interferometers, taking reflection from the earth's surface into account
Abstract
The accuracy of a radio interferometer located on the earth's surface is investigated. Its resolving power is analyzed as a function of the time of observation of a radiating object, the degree of anisotropy of atmospheric irregularities, and the position of the interferometer baseline.
