Content

The technique of frequency phase transfer (FPT), pioneered at the Korean VLBI Network, is now gaining strong momentum with a number of telescopes and VLBI arrays considering it as a backbone of future operations. These include, most notably, the Global Millimeter VLBI Array (GMVA) and the upgrade of the Event Horizon Telescope. Implementation of FPT at these instruments holds a promise of increasing sensitivity and dynamic range of imaging by factors of 10-70 and reaching an unprecedented ~1 microarcsecond accuracy of relative astrometric measurements. Present state of developments of FPT VLBI and its scientific perspectives will be briefly discussed in this presentation
