VLBA Antenna Graphic

A VLBA antenna.

This is a graphic of a VLBA antenna I originally traced from Fig. 2.1 in Thompson, A. R., "VLBA Technical Report No. 15 (Rev. A), An Introduction to the VLBA recieving and recording system", 1993 using Inkscape. I converted that svg to TeX/TikZ code using SVG2TikZ and manually fixed the code at some places.

Usage

Make sure to use TeXLive 2023 or newer with latexmk and you have make installed. Use $ make or

$ make <all|build/vlba.pdf>

to build the graphic. The pdf can then be found in the build directory. Call

$ make clean

to remove the build directory.
