Geodetic VLBI experiment EUROPE46

The purpose of this experiment is to determine station coordinates and their evolution in the European geodetic VLBI network with the highest precision possible.

Polarization test was conducted at the end of the session. Purposes of the test was to evaluate response of the antenna systems on cross-polarization. Preliminary results of this polarization test are available.

Procedure of post-correlation data analysis was changed. More details about post-correlation procedure for Europe46 is available.
