Using software spectrometer to ensure VLBI signal chain reliability [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.02114


Software spectrometer (SWSpec) developed for spacecraft tracking can be used to assure VLBI signal chain reliability, and phase stability of a VLBI receiver. Testing performed with SWSpec during pre-operations both saves time, and eases the tests as one does not need to gather, couple and setup the hardware.
