Mark III VLBI observations of the pulsars PSR 0329+54 and PSR 1133+16 were made at 2.3 GHz using antennas with diameters and locations as follows: 100m, Effelsberg, West Germany (but only for SPR 0329+54); 43m Green Bank, WV, USA; and 40m, Big Pine, CA, USA. The Mark III processor at the Haystack Observatory was “gated” to compute visibility amplitudes and phases as a function of pulsar longitude. This method allowed a) an improvement of the signal to noise ration, by as much as a factor of ten in the case of PSR 1133+16, and b) an interferometric investigation of the pulse structure.
