Introduction

A previous memo described calibration and imaging for the generic Interferometer (Cornwell and Wieringa, 1996) using the measurement equation developed by Hamaker, Bregman and Sault (1995) (see also Noordam, 1995). Most attention has been paid to self-calibration whereby the derived calibration information need only be applied to the source from which it was derived. The more general case is to derive calibration on one source or set of sources, and then apply it to another source. The purpose of this memo is to sketch the form of the design for this form of calibration, that we will call cross-calibration. This is a sketch only and, in keeping with AIPS++ philosophy, the reader is referred to the AIPS++ header files for more information.

We assume that the reader is familiar with the terminology, notation and results from the above mentioned references.
