SummaryModifications have been made to the 85·5 Mc/s cross-type radio telescope at Sydney to permit the measurement of radio source sizes in the range of 10' to l' arc. The basic modification involves the addition of another aerial at a distant site connected by radio link. A new form of automatic gain control ensures very good stability for the system. The modified instrument is described in general terms and calibration techniques are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
