An Introduction to Radio Interferometry (Legacy OVRO Video)

A brief and entertaining introduction to radio interferometry by Dr. Dale Gary. The video was produced in 1991 to explain how the Owens Valley Radio Observatory solar array worked. The explanation of interferometry remains timeless and can easily be applied to modern interferometers such as ALMA and the Jansky Very Large Array. A must-watch for novices and experts!

Keywords: Fourier transform pairs; uv plane; image plane; visibilities; aperture synthesis; baselines; uv coverage; sidelobes; rotational synthesis; frequency synthesis; ALMA observatory; Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array
