Optical Very Large Array array telescope OVLA

radio interferometer astroweb signals from different antenna to be combined array telescope Type of radio telescope that relies on the use of two or more aerials at a distance from each other to provide a combination of signals from one source which can be analyzed by computer. Such an analysis results in a resolution that is considerably better than that of a parabolic dish aerial by itself because of the greater effective diameter.
