The Potsdam Open Source Radio Interferometry Tool (PORT)

Abstract The Potsdam Open Source Radio Interferometry Tool (PORT) is the very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) analysis software developed and maintained at GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences. Chiefly, PORT tasked with timely processing of VLBI sessions post-processing activities supporting generation celestial terrestrial reference frames. In addition, it serves as a framework research development within GFZ’s working group part tool set employed in educating young researchers. Starting out from delays, estimates station radio sources positions, well Earth orientation parameters, tropospheric clock offsets drifts. estimation procedures take into account all necessary data models that were agreed on contributing to ITRF2020 activities. code base implemented MATLAB ® Python programming languages.
