The multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) model is employed to compute the hyperfine interaction constants of the 3d{sup 2}4s {sup 2}D{sub 3/2}, 3d{sup 2}4s {sup 2}D{sub 5/2}, 3d{sup 3} {sup 2}G{sub 7/2}, 3d{sup 3} {sup 2}G{sub 9/2}, and 3d{sup 3} {sup 2}P{sub 3/2} levels of titanium ion. The wave function expansions are obtained with the active space expansion method, where configuration state functions of a specific parity and {ital J} value are generated by substitutions from the reference configurations to an active set of orbitals. The active set is then increased in a systematic way, allowing the convergence of the expectation values to be achieved. The calculated electric quadrupole hyperfine constants are used to evaluate the nuclear electric quadrupole moment of isotope 49 of titanium, for which the value Q=0.247(11)b is found. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}
