Phased array feeds filling the focal plane. 19 element dual polarization phased array feed (paf) for l band with cryogenic sige hbt lnas. measured tsys of 35k on the green bank 20 meter telescope. this paf will be tested on the gbt in early 2013. to increase the speed at which large areas of the sky can be surveyed, it would be hugely.

To accelerate the pace of discovery and exploration of the cosmos, a multi institution team of astronomers and engineers has developed a new and improved version of an unconventional radio astronomy imaging system known as a phased array feed (paf). this remarkable instrument can survey vast swaths of the sky and generate multiple views of astronomical objects with unparalleled efficiency. The national radio astronomy observatory is a facility of the national science foundation operated under cooperative agreement by associated universities, inc. founded in 1956, the nrao provides state of the art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. nrao telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless. “when looking at all phased array receiver technologies currently operating or in development, our new design clearly raises the bar and gives the astronomy community a new, more rapid way of conducting large scale surveys,” said anish roshi, an astronomer engineer with the national radio astronomy observatory (nrao) and a member of the.
