Funded Activity Summary
Broadband receivers for AuScope geodetic and astronomical applications . Broadband receivers for AuScope geodetic and astronomical applications: This project aims to develop an innovative broadband receiver system which will be deployed on the AuScope array of radio telescopes. This will enable the telescopes to play a key role in improving precision navigation both in Australia and throughout the Southern Hemisphere. The new receiver systems will significantly improve the capability of these facilities for both geodetic and astronomical investigations. Improvements to the accuracy of the terrestrial reference frame in Australia will allow more accurate measurements of changes in sea level, while high precision astrometric observations undertaken with the new receivers will be used to determine the structure of our Milky Way Galaxy.Funded Activity Details
