Planned upgrades include priority data processing for quicker results, advanced clock-drift and signal-delay correction to refine alignment, and AI-assisted data review and analysis.
Faster results. More precise alignment.
For interferometry, synchronisation means aligning the recorded radio signals in time and accounting for clock and signal-path differences. Our advanced-service goal is quicker processing and more refined timing and phase calibration, helping compatible stations combine their observations reliably.
Built around the whole instrument
Timing precision depends on station clocks, receiver stability, accurate timestamps, and calibration. A faster internet connection helps move data sooner; precise signal alignment comes from the hardware and processing together. Performance targets will be published after testing.
