The initial phase of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) [1] is represented by a −10% instrument and construction should start in 2018. SKA 1-Low, a sparse Aperture Array (AA) covering the frequency range 50 to 350 MHz, will be part of this. This instrument will consist of 512 stations, each hosting 256 antennas creating a total of 131,072 antennas. A first verification system towards SKA 1-Low, Aperture...
This paper proposes a system approach to explore the full potential of phased arrays with sparse, regular spacing for radio astronomy. In particular, the FFT telescope is revisited, with its tantalising promise of instantaneous (nearly) all sky observations.
Aperture Array Verification System 1 (AAVS1) is a prototype and verification platform for SKA-Low, the low-frequency component of the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope to be built at the remote, radio-quiet Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory (MRO) in Western Australia. The 400-antenna AAVS1 is a sparse aperture array which will be built and characterized in 2016–17. It...
