A high-resolution microwave spectrometer has been developed by converting the Owens Valley solar interferometer to frequency-agile operation. The system uses 27-m antennas equipped with phase-locked receivers that can change their observing frequency in 25 or 50 msec. Microwave spectra between 1 and...
