The Parkes - Tidbinbilla Interferometer is a radio-linked interferometer using the 64-m telescope at Parkes together with one of the NASA antennas (34-m or 64-m) at Tidbinbilla. With a baseline of 275km, it is currently the world's longest real-time interferometer, and is usable at frequencies of 1.6, 2.3, and 8.4 GHz to give angular resolutions of 0.13, 0.09, and 0.03 arcsec respectively, with a sensitivity of 1–2 mJy rms in 5 minutes at a bandwidth of up to 10MHz.
