•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
