Abstract
A new type of radio interferometer has been developed which has a number of important advantages over earlier systems. Its use enables the radiation from a weak ‘point’ source such as a radio star to be recorded independently of the radiation of much greater intensity from an extended source. It is therefore possible to use a very much greater recorder sensitivity than with earlier methods. It is, in addition, possible to use pre-amplifiers at the aerials, and the resolving power which may be used is therefore not restricted by attenuation in the aerial cables.KeywordsNoise PowerBackground RadiationAerial SystemAngular DiameterAerial SpacingThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
