Technology

With a radio-telescope array, which mechanism limits angular resolution improvement when increasing the signal processing capability?

A)Increased tropospheric signal phase decorrelation
B)More efficient signal analog error correction
C)Improved signal source polarization filtering
D)Enhanced signal data storage allocation

💡 Explanation

Angular resolution in radio astronomy will ultimately be bounded by atmospheric effects. Tropospheric signal phase decorrelation increases with baseline length because variations introduce independent phase shifts, therefore decorrelation prevents further improvements, rather than bandwidth affecting angular resolution.
