A New Layout Optimization Technique for Interferometric Arrays, Applied to the Murchison Widefield Array

A New Layout Optimization Technique for Interferometric Arrays, Applied to the Murchison Widefield Array

Antenna layout is an important design consideration for radio interferometers because it determines the quality of the snapshot point spread function (PSF, or array beam). This is particularly true for experiments targeting the 21-cm Epoch of Reionization signal as the quality of the foreground subt...
