Arecibo NAIC Arecibo Observatory 5 arcminute 300 meters radio telescope Puerto Rico

radio interferometer astroweb array telescope signals from different antenna to be combined 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.
