If
primary beam of antenna is >> solar diameter, then
|
|
|
imaging
is easy.
|
|
|
|
If
primary beam of antenna is << solar diameter, imaging
|
|
of
small regions in the disk is relatively easy.
|
|
|
|
If
primary beam of antenna is comparable to the solar
|
|
|
diameter,
good imaging is hard.
|
|
|
|
|
Pointing
is most critical
|
|
|
|
|
Short
spacing measurements become very important for good
|
|
|
imaging
|
|
|
|
|
Short
spacing measurements are hard to obtain in this regime
|
|
|
(cant
get the antennas close enough together).
|
|
|
|
Calibration
may set a minimum size of antenna.
|
|
|
|
An
important design choice, tied to array configuration.
