Abstract :
High accuracy absolute (long-) distance measurement is a key enabling technology for the realization of large baseline antenna arrays. The large baseline dimension is a performance-critical parameter, which greatly improves the resolution of terrestrial and space-borne antennas and telescopes. Here, we discuss the feasibility of multi-platform airborne antenna stations.
