Performance of the VGOS radio telescope with as-built feed and geometry using electromagnetic simulation This paper reports on electromagnetic simulations performed of the as-built VGOS (VLBI Global Observing System) 13.2-metre Radio Telescope at the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HartRAO). Specifically, the telescope performance with a measured quadruple-ridge flared horn (QRFH) and with actual surfaces and […]

The Yebes Observatory and the future VLBI correlator for the RAEGE network This paper describes the geodetic VLBI activities carried out at the Yebes Observatory and gives an update about the status of the RAEGE project. The design of a VLBI correlator for the RAEGE network has just started based on the experience gained with

Description of RAEGE Yebes VGOS receiver upgrades This contribution describes the upgrades to be implemented in the RAEGE Yebes VGOS receiver.Meanwhile, the Yebes radio telescope is operating with the VGOS receiver designed for the RAEGE Santa Maria station. The goal of these upgrades is to improve the overall receiver performance in terms of sensitivity, band-pass

Geodetic Analyses at the National Geographic Institute of Spain The National Geographic Institute of Spain (IGN Spain) develops, operates, and exploits the Spanish national geodetic networks and their associated infrastructure. This includes the permanent networks of reference GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receivers, VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) telescopes, and a new SLR (Satellite Laser

RAEGE: the Spanish-Portuguese Infrastructure of Geodetic Stations This contribution will show the current status of the joint Spanish-Portuguese infrastructure for Space Geodesy called RAEGE, which stands for Red Atlántica de Estaciones Geodinámicas y Espaciales. This infrastructure will consist of four space geodesy stations, two in Spain (Yebes and Gran Canaria) and two in Portugal (Santa
