Radio and Millimetre Interferometer Arrays

Radio observatories that combine the signals of many separate antennas into one instrument, an interferometer or aperture synthesis array, to reach the sharpness of a much larger telescope. An observatory belongs here when its cited article calls it an array, interferometer or synthesis telescope. Members are placed here from their own cited Wikipedia articles, each with a verbatim supporting quotation, so a reader can check why an entry sits in this group. The grouping forms part of the browse path for this section of the atlas.
