According to the out-of-focus holographic measurement method of the
radio telescope based on planetary zooming, a
planet is used as a source for out-of-focus observation, a
beam pattern of an actually observed
planet is obtained through
deconvolution, a theoretical far-field model of the
planet is established, and the theoretical far-field model of the planet is compared with the actually observed
beam pattern to calculate a redundancy value. And continuously updating the coefficient of the Zernike polynomial by minimizing the redundancy value and iterating until the optimal
phase model is determined, and determining the
phase error on the
aperture plane according to the
phase model. According to the out-of-focus holographic measurement method, the planet is introduced to serve as a radio source, the
measurement precision and stability are improved, the real-time measurement effect and the multi-frequency calibration capability are enhanced, the calibration accuracy and the overall performance of the Tianmar
radio telescope are remarkably improved, many limitations of a traditional
surface type measurement method are solved, and the
measurement precision and the measurement stability are improved. For example, the measurement speed is slow, additional hardware equipment is needed, the influence of weather is large, and the application range is limited.
