Title: | UAV-aided calibration for commissioning of phased array radio telescopes | Authors: | Wijnholds, Stefan J. PUPILLO, Giuseppe BOLLI, Pietro Virone, Giuseppe |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Volume: | 2016 URSI Asia-Pacific Radio Science Conference (URSI AP-RASC) | First Page: | 228 | Abstract: | Calibration of antenna positions and instrumental response is a crucial step in the commissioning of a phased array radio telescope. The Low Frequency Aperture Array system of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is envisaged to consist of about 131,000 antennas. In this paper, we propose a strategy to efficiently conduct commissioning calibration of such a large phased array radio telescope using a near-field probe mounted on an nmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method using simulations. This indicates that potentially cost-saving relaxation of requirements on placement accuracy is possible. We also propose to validate this method in practice using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR). | Conference Name: | 2016 URSI Asia-Pacific Radio Science Conference (URSI AP-RASC) | Conference Place: | Seoul, South Korea | Conference Date: | 21-25 August, 2016 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26394 | URL: | https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7601375 | ISBN: | 978-1-4673-8801-6 | DOI: | 10.1109/URSIAP-RASC.2016.7601375 | Fulltext: | open |
