无线电干涉测量中的基线相关平均

Baseline Dependent Averaging in Radio Interferometry

S. J. Wijnholds, A. G. Willis, S. Salvini

摘要:

本文详细分析了基线相关平均法(BDA)在现代射电干涉仪特别是平方公里阵列(SKA)中的适用性和优点。我们证明,BDA不影响的信息内容的数据以外的一个定义良好的去相关损失的封闭形式的表达式是现成的。我们使用模拟验证这些理论研究结果。因此,我们得出结论,BDA可以可靠地用于现代无线电干涉测量,允许减少能见度数据量(因此处理能见度数据的处理成本)超过80%。

英文摘要:

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the applicability and benefits of baseline dependent averaging (BDA) in modern radio interferometers and in particular the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). We demonstrate that BDA does not affect the information content of the data other than a well-defined decorrelation loss for which closed form expressions are readily available. We verify these theoretical findings using simulations. We therefore conclude that BDA can be used reliably in modern radio interferometry allowing a reduction of visibility data volume (and hence processing costs for handling visibility data) by more than 80%.
