Geodesy by radio interferometry - Determination of a 1.24-km base line vector with approximately 5-mm repeatabilityThe paper describes a new method for determining the base line vector from X band radio interferometric observations of extragalactic sources. The procedure utilizes the precision inherent in fringe phase measurements. Eleven separate experiments were conducted to measure the 1.24-km base line vector between the two antennas of the Haystack Observatory in Westford, Mass. The repeatability, scatter, and level of accuracy are discussed.
