Line 5: The telescopes in the array can operate at several frequencies between 120 [[MHz]] and 8.3 [[GHz]] with an instantaneous bandwidth of 120 MHz and 8092 line spectral resolution.<ref>[http://www.astron.nl/radio-observatory/astronomers/wsrt-guide-observations/wsrt-guide-observations WSRT Guide to Observations], [[ASTRON]].</ref> The WSRT is often combined with other telescopes around the world to perform [[Very Long Baseline Interferometry]] (VLBI) observations, being part of the [[European VLBI Network]].<ref>[http://www.evlbi.org/intro/intro.html Introduction to the EVN], [[European VLBI Network]].</ref> The telescope is operated by [[ASTRON]], the Dutch foundation for astronomy research. The WSRT is scheduled for another upgrade around 2013 as part of the ~~'''~~APERTIF~~'''~~ (APERture Tile In Focus) project, where the current detectors will be replaced with [[Focal Plane Arrays]].<ref>[http://www.astron.nl/general/apertif/apertif What is Apertif?], [[ASTRON]].</ref> This will allow a 25x larger field of view and will be used for large scale surveys of the northern sky, bringing back focus on the [[Hydrogen line]] for which it was originally designed, but also large [[pulsar]] searches and other science. The WSRT is also an International [[GNSS]] Service site.<ref>[http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/network/site/wsrt.html IGS Station: wsrt], International GNSS Service.</ref>
