Microwave phase calibration - generalities
Baseline redundancy
May be useful
By itself, cannot meet requirements
Conventional approach
Reasonable, but not heroic measures to stabilize system phase
Add 1 or 2 large antennas for non-solar calibrations
Interrupt solar observations every hour or two to recalibrate
Comments on conventional approach
Cost of large antennas is equivalent to many small antennas
Interruptions degrade solar science
