Research of Measuring Axis Ratio of MUSER's Feed Based on Correlation
The MUSER(Mingantu SpEctral Radioheliograph) is a new generation of solar dedicated radio telescope.Its ultra-wide band dual-circular polarized feed is one of the key technologies.AR (Axis Ratio) is an important parameter for measuring feed efficiency.The traditional AR measurement needs the involvement of the standard antenna.In this paper
the method by measuring correlation is adopted to measure AR of feeds for MUSER.Since MUSER has numbers of antennas and located in harsh environments
according to the demand of astronomical observations
the performance of the antennas should be measured frequently.This method simplifies the process of AR measurement of the interferometric array and can obtain accurate results efficiently.The measuring process are presented in detail in this paper.In addition
the results of AR measurement show the favourable characteristics of the feeds for MUSER.
