===== WP7 JRA RINGS ======
The main objective for RINGS (Radio Interferometry Next Generation Software) is to deliver advanced calibration algorithms for the next generation of radio astronomy facilities, characterized by a high sensitivity, a high bandwidth and long baselines {{:jra:730562_radionet_wp7.pdf|RINGS}}({{:jra:730562_radionet_wp7.pdf|RINGS Description}}).

**The RINGS parter:** MPG, ASTRON, JIV-ERIC, UMAN, OSO, DIAS

**The RINGS tasks:**
  * WP7.1 Methodology and approach [ASTRON, UMAN OSO, JIV-ERIC, MPG, DIAS]
  * WP7.2 Polarimetry Conversion [OSO, DIAS]
  * WP7.3: Multiband and Wide Band Fringe Fitting [JIV-ERIC, DIAS, MPG]
  * [[wp7pt4|WP7.4: Fringe Fitting with dispersive delays]] [UMAN, ASTRON, DIAS, MPG]
  * Task 7.5: Advanced calibration algorithms for full-polarization interferometry data [OSO, DIAS]
  * 
This activity is lead by ASTRON - Leader J. McKean.
