Abstract

The paper examines the possibilities of using multi-frequency synthesis methods for very long baseline (VLBI) space radio interferometers to improve the (u, v) coverage and the quality of the resulting synthesized images. To evaluate the contribution of multi-frequency synthesis methods, simulations of VLBI observations were performed using the example of the space VLBI concept that is based on a combination of circular near-Earth orbits.
