Radio astronomy is conducted only using the large radio antennas referred to as radio telescopes that are either used singularly, or within multiple linked telescopes utilizing the techniques of radio interferometry and aperture synthesis. The use of the interferometry allows radio astronomy to achieve high angular resolution, and also as the resolving power of an interferometer which is set by the distance between its components, rather than the size of its components.
