    DBBC3: AntArr Project

    Low frequency bands in a traditional VLBI networks suffer not only from RFI but also from the low efficiency of the radio telescopes. Dedicated arrays have to be used which have to maintain all the constraints of a VLBI station, e.g., phase stability. With this aim a project with an alternative application of the DBBC3 was set up and is presented, where a set of antennas operating at frequencies lower than 1 GHz are combined into an array. The individual antennas cover the broadband frequency range from 10 MHz to 1000 MHz

    PMD Analysis Center 2013 Annual Report

    This report summarizes the activities of the Politecnico diMilano (PMD) IVS Analysis Center during the year 2013 and outlines the planned aspects of work for 2014. The main focuses in 2013 were in the framework of the IAG WG 1.4.2 on Co-location on Earth and in Space for the determination of the Celestial Reference Frame. Studies carried out concern e.g. simulations for some European VLBI antennas performed to investigate if the VLBI phase referencing technique can be used for precise determination of GNSS state vectors. Furthermore, investigations into possible deformations introduced by the change to ICRF2 [1] were also made for the processing of 24- hour observational session
