The present invention discloses a method and
system for quickly measuring the
signal delay of a
radio telescope, the method comprising the following steps: setting periodic
noise parameters and recording
baseband data; calculating the standard deviation of the upper half of each cycle and the standard deviation of the
lower half of each cycle according to the period of the
noise, calculating the standard deviation ratio of M cycles, and taking the average value; increasing the
start time offset until one
noise cycle, respectively calculating the average standard deviation ratio of M cycles; fitting the curve of the average standard deviation and the
start time offset to obtain the accurate time
delay; comparing historical data, analyzing the differences and causes. The present technology can realize the accurate measurement of the
signal delay of a
radio telescope. Compared with the previous method using power spectrum, the
present method has a very short
data recording time, can be performed during the
telescope source change period, and will not occupy the normal working time of the
telescope; the
present method is not affected by radio interference, and the measurement accuracy can be improved to 0.1 microseconds.
