Antenna layout for the SKA-Low telescope put to the test
SKA-Low is a radio telescope under construction in Western Australia, operating from 50 to 350 MHz. The finished instrument will link 512 stations across an area roughly 75 km wide, with each station's antenna arrangement shaping what it can detect.
- SKA-Low is being built in Western Australia for 50–350 MHz
- 512 stations will span an area about 75 km wide
- Each station's antennas act as a single large dish
- Antenna layout directly shapes the telescope's sensitivity
