Passive-Tuned Mass Dampers for the Pointing Accuracy Mitigation of VLBI Earth-Based Antennae Subject to Aerodynamic Gust

This paper proposes an optimization procedure to achieve the best configuration of multiple degrees of freedom Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) to mitigate the pointing error of Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Earth-based radio antennae operating under aerodynamic gust conditions. In order to dete...
