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…
Recent Developments in Measuring Signal and Noise in Phased Array Feeds at CSIRO
A. P. Chippendale, D. McConnell, K. Bannister +6
We describe recent developments in measuring both signal and noise in phased array feeds for radio astronomy at CSIRO. We introduce new techniques including aperture array noise me…
Wide-field broadband radio imaging with phased array feeds: a pilot multi-epoch continuum survey with ASKAP-BETA
I. Heywood, K. W. Bannister, J. Marvil +45
The Boolardy Engineering Test Array is a 6 x 12 m dish interferometer and the prototype of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), equipped with the first generat…
