Phased array feeds can greatly increase the field of view of interferometric radio telescope arrays. High dynamic range imaging with these arrays requires compensation for drifts in the many receiver-chain gains. A calibration system using surface radiators is proposed for the Australian Square Kilometre Array Path Finder. Design considerations and a proposed system are discussed.
The Australia SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) is a new telescope under development as a world-class high-dynamic-range wide-field-of-view survey instrument. It will utilize focal plane phased array feeds on the 36 12-m antennas that will compose the array. The large amounts of data present a huge computing challenge, and ASKAP will store data products in an archive after near real-time pipeline processing...
