摘要：

We describe the techniques used to produce linear polarization-sensitive radio images at milliarcsecond resolution. These include the calibration of the instrumental response of an inhomogeneous interferometer, and the formation of images in total intensity and linear polarization. We also present an analysis of various errors in these images that arise from noise and from incorrect polarization calibration.
