An interferometric radiometer by aperture synthesis measures spatial frequency components of the brightness temperature distribution in its field of view using several antenna pairs, so-called baselines. A measurement of each baseline is described by the visibility equation [6]:I.
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.
