Abstract
Two-station narrow-band AVLBI requires phase connections between consecutive scans. This article presents an efficient computer-aided scheme for this purpose. This scheme is an iteration process alternating between a grand fit on many scans and integer quantization of the phase-shift cycles to be assigned to the scans. Only linear simultaneous equations of a few unknowns need to be solved. A simulation analysis indicates that faultless phase connection can be expected when there is no localized systematic noise. When systematic noise of moderate level exists, the possible incorrect phase connection can be detected and corrected for by comparing the connected phases from the two alternating observations, after removing the residual diurnal effects.
