Engineering Development Array 2: design, performance, and lessons from an SKA-Low prototype station

نویسندگان

چکیده

We present the Engineering Development Array 2, which is one of two instruments built as a second generation prototype station for future Square Kilometre Low-Frequency Array. The array comprised 256 dual-polarization dipole antennas that can work phased or standalone interferometer. describe design and details changes from previous instruments, well motivation changes. Using an imaging interferometer, we measure sensitivity at five frequencies ranging 70 to 320 MHz.

SKA station cost comparison

Introduction Current SKA white papers and updates present cost in a variety of ways which makes direct comparisons difficult. To a first approximation the major difference between the proposals is the cost of the antenna stations. These costs have been extracted from the white papers and updates and an attempt has been made to bring them all to a common metric: cost per square metre of physical...

Design of an Aperture Phased Array System for the SKA

Aperture phased arrays operating up to 1 GHz are highly flexible collector systems, uniquely capable of performing an HI survey of a billion galaxies and observations of the Epoch of Reionisation, two of the Key Science Programmes for the Square Kilometer Array, SKA. Such high performance arrays are only becoming feasible in the timescales of the SKA due to technological advances in array desig...
