In this paper, we aim to design robust estimation techniques based on the compound-Gaussian (CG) process and adapted for calibration of radio interferometers. The motivation beyond this is due to the presence of outliers leading to an unrealistic traditional Gaussian noise assumption. Consequently , to achieve robustness, we adopt a maximum a...

Robust calibration of next-generation radio-interferometers, as the square kilometer array (SKA) for instance, is a crucial prepro-cessing step for sky imaging. Recently, several robust calibration es-timators based on the use of well known strong sources in the field of view (FOV) have been proposed in the literature. For that, usually a...
