Title: ORION - Microwave Water Vapor Radiometer Subsystem Design
Abstract: Electrical path delay caused by atmospheric water vapor may be a limiting error source for geodetic measurements made with VLBI. Direct measurement of atmospheric water vapor is necessary to obtain path delay correction required by the ORION project. A dual channel water vapor radiometer is described which operates at frequencies near the 22 GHz water vapor line and is capable of collecting data that permits calculation of path delay within 2 cm accuracy.
