Abstract
A small two-antenna interferometer working at a wavelength of 8 mm, with a baseline of 64 m is now completed at the Observatory in Bordeaux. The new instrument is designed for solar studies and for experimentation in millimeter-wave interferometry. The main characteristics are given with some details on techniques used, in particular for local-oscillator (LO) transmission and phase stability, and for antenna drive and encoding systems.
