We have measured the hyperfine constants {ital A}({sup 2}{ital S}{sub 1/2}), {ital A}({sup 2}{ital P}{sub 1/2}), and {ital A}({sup 2}{ital P}{sub 3/2}) for Ca{sup +}. We compare our results with the calculations of Martensson-Pendrill and Salomonson (Phys. Rev. A 30, 712 (1984)), who used many-body perturbation theory (MBPT). The agreement between our results and MBPT calculations for Ca{sup +} is about 3%, which is comparable to similar comparisons reported for Cs (S. Blundell, in 2 Relativistic, Quantum Electrodynamic, and Weak Interaction Effects in Atoms, AIP Conf. Proc. No. 189, edited by Walter Johnson, Peter Mohr, and Joseph Sucher (AIP, New York, 1988)).
