“…A seminal meeting defining the role of VLBI in Earth dynamics programs was held in Williamstown, Massachusetts, in 1969(Kaula 1970. The use of VLBI in these applications developed rapidly during the 1970s and 1980s; see, for example, Whitney et al (1976) and Clark et al (1985). In the United States, NASA and several other federal agencies set up a cooperative program of geodetic measurements in the mid-1970s.…”

This chapter is concerned with the techniques by which angular positions of radio sources can be measured with the greatest possible accuracy, and with the design of interferometers for optimum determination of source-position, baseline, and geodetic 1 parameters. The total fringe phase of an interferometer, where the effect of delay tracking is removed, can be expressed in terms of the scalar product of the baseline and sourceposition vectors D and s, respectively, as

“…VLBI observations for geodesy and astrometry using Mark III compatible systems (Clark et al 1985) have been conducted since about mid-1979. These observations are made in a bandwidth-synthesis mode at standard frequencies of 2.3 and 8.4 GHz.…”
