Data pubblicazione: | 2021 | Rivista: | ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS | Numero: | 655 | Da pagina:: | A5 | Abstract: | The design and development process for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope's Low Frequency Aperture Array component was progressed during the SKA pre-construction phase by an international consortium, with the goal of meeting requirements for a critical design review. As part of the development process a full-sized prototype SKA Low `station' was deployed - the Aperture Array Verification System 1 (AAVS1). We provide a system overview and describe the commissioning results of AAVS1, which is a low frequency radio telescope with 256 dual-polarisation log-periodic dipole antennas working as a phased array. A detailed system description is provided, including an in-depth overview of relevant sub-systems, ranging from hardware, firmware, software, calibration, and control sub-systems. Early commissioning results cover initial bootstrapping, array calibration, stability testing, beam-forming, and on-sky sensitivity validation. Lessons learned are presented, along with future developments. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/31976 | URL: | https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2021/11/aa40086-20/aa40086-20.html | ISSN: | 0004-6361 | DOI: | 10.1051/0004-6361/202040086 | Bibcode ADS: | 2021A&A...655A...5B | Fulltext: | open |
