An ultra-wide bandwidth (704 to 4032 MHz) receiver for the Parkes radio telescope
G. Hobbs, R. N. Manchester, A. Dunning +69
We describe an ultra-wide-bandwidth, low-frequency receiver ("UWL") recently installed on the Parkes radio telescope. The receiver system provides continuous frequency coverage fro…
The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder: Performance of the Boolardy Engineering Test Array
D. McConnell, J. R. Allison, K. Bannister +71
We describe the performance of the Boolardy Engineering Test Array (BETA), the prototype for the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder telescope ASKAP. BETA is the first ape…
Testing a modified ASKAP Mark II phased array feed on the 64 m Parkes radio telescope
A. P. Chippendale, R. J. Beresford, X. Deng +4
We present the first installation and characterization of a phased array feed (PAF) on the 64 m Parkes radio telescope. The combined system operates best between 0.8 GHz and 1.74 G…
Measured Sensitivity of the First Mark II Phased Array Feed on an ASKAP Antenna
A. P. Chippendale, A. J. Brown, R. J. Beresford +8
This paper presents the measured sensitivity of CSIRO's first Mk. II phased array feed (PAF) on an ASKAP antenna. The Mk. II achieves a minimum system-temperature-over-efficiency $…
Measured Aperture-Array Noise Temperature of the Mark II Phased Array Feed for ASKAP
A. P. Chippendale, A. J. Brown, R. J. Beresford +10
We have measured the aperture-array noise temperature of the first Mk. II phased array feed that CSIRO has built for the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder telescope. As…
The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder: System Architecture and Specifications of the Boolardy Engineering Test Array
A. W. Hotan, J. D. Bunton, L. Harvey-Smith +98
This paper describes the system architecture of a newly constructed radio telescope - the Boolardy Engineering Test Array, which is a prototype of the Australian Square Kilometre A…
The Australia Telescope 20GHz Survey: Hardware, Observing Strategy, and Scanning Survey Catalog
Paul J. Hancock, Paul Roberts, Michael J. Kesteven +17
The Australia Telescope 20GHz (AT20G) survey is a large area (2π sr), sensitive (40mJy), high frequency (20GHz) survey of the southern sky. The survey was conducted in two parts: a…
The Australia Telescope Compact Array Broadband Backend (CABB)
Warwick E. Wilson, R. H. Ferris, P. Axtens +30
Here we describe the Compact Array Broadband Backend (CABB) and present first results obtained with the upgraded Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The 16-fold increase in o…
