Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The large bandwidth and resolution specifications of today's telescopes require the use of different types of collectors positioned over long baselines. Innovative feeds and detectors must be designed and introduced in the initial phases of development. The required level of resolution can only be achieved through a ground-breaking configuration of dishes and antennas. This work investigates the possibility of the genetic optimization of radio interferometer layouts given constraints on cable length, required UV density distribution and point-spread function. Owing to the large collecting area and the frequency range required for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) to deliver the promised science, the configuration of the dishes within each station is an important issue. As a proof of concept, the Phase 1 specifications of this telescope are used to test the proposed framework.
