Abstract
A radio telescope capable of two-dimensional mapping of the sun at a millimeter wavelength with resolution of a few seconds of arc would add greatly to our knowledge of the sun and solar flares. A design which promises to make such an instrument possible is being studied at present. The novel features of this design are fast rotational synthesis and a technique for using redundancy in the array to calibrate the phases continuously.
