The mid-frequency Square Kilometre Array phase synchronisation system

Square Kilometre Array Telescope—Precision Reference Frequency Synchronisation via 1f-2f Dissemination

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project is an international effort to build the world's largest radio telescope, with a one-square-kilometre collecting area. In addition to its ambitious scientific objectives, such as probing cosmic dawn and the cradle of life, the SKA demands several revolutionary technological breakthroughs, such as ultra-high precision synchronisation of the frequency refer...

Meeting the Calibration Requirements for the Square Kilometre Array

Calibration of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be the key to successfully achieving an astronomical instrument two orders of magnitude better than existing radio telescopes. The extent to how accurate the calibration data should be is dependent on the sensitivity of the processing algorithm to errors, or its robustness. The SKA telescope calibration data will be sensitive to many factors,...

The square kilometre array and the transient universe.

The square kilometre array (SKA) is a next generation radio telescope that will be built in southern Africa and Australasia. It will be built in two phases and will use a range of detectors, from aperture arrays to dishes, to span the frequency range from a few tens of megahertz to a few gigahertz. The combination of great sensitivity, wide field of view and unprecedented computing power mean t...
