In this report we present a model for phased array feed (PAF) and compare the model predictions with measurements. A theory for loss-less PAF is presented first. To develop the theory we ask the question -- what is the best…
Phased array feeds (PAFs) for reflector antennas offer the potential for increased reflector field of view and faster survey speeds. To address some of the development challenges that remain for scientifically useful PAFs, including…
The growing number of phased array feeds (PAF) being built for radio astronomy demonstrates an increasing need for low noise amplifiers (LNA) that are designed for repeatability, low noise, and ease of manufacture. Specific design features…
A new 1.4 GHz 19-element, dual-polarization, cryogenic phased array feed (PAF) radio astronomy receiver has been developed for the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) as part of FLAG (Focal L-band Array for the GBT) project.…
We present the first installation and characterization of a phased array feed (PAF) on the 64 m Parkes radio telescope. The combined system operates best between 0.8 GHz and 1.74 GHz where the beamformed noise temperature is between 45 K…
In this article, a general information-plus-noise transmission model is assumed, the receiver end of which is composed of a large number of sensors and is unaware of the noise pattern. For this model, and under reasonable assumptions, a set…
In this paper, we propose a new non-convex algorithm for solving the phase retrieval problem, i.e., the reconstruction of a signal $ \vx\in\H^n $ ($\H=\R$ or $\C$) from phaseless samples $ b_j=\abs{\langle \va_j, \vx\rangle } $, $…
We propose the product-of-filters (PoF) model, a generative model that decomposes audio spectra as sparse linear combinations of "filters" in the log-spectral domain. PoF makes similar assumptions to those used in the classic homomorphic…
In this paper, we describe the development of a new L-band (1.4 GHz) Cryogenic Phased Array Feed (PAF) system, referred to as the GBT2 array. Results from initial measurements made with the GBT2 array are also presented. The PAF was…
Phased Array Feed (PAF) technology is the next major advancement in radio astronomy in terms of combining high sensitivity and large field of view. The Focal L-band Array for the Green Bank Telescope (FLAG) is one of the most sensitive PAFs…
The given work is devoted to the modern developments in the field of radio astronomy instrumentation. In particular, the sensitivity of the multi-beam reflector radio telescope which is fed by phased array (PAF) is considered. Using PAF as…
We consider sparse array beamfomer design achieving maximum signal-to interference plus noise ratio (MaxSINR). Both array configuration and weights are attuned to the changing sensing environment. This is accomplished by simultaneously…
Standard noise radars, as well as noise-type radars such as quantum two-mode squeezing radar, are characterized by a covariance matrix with a very specific structure. This matrix has four independent parameters: the amplitude of the…
Spectral-line results from a new cryogenic phased array feed (cryoPAF) on the Murriyang telescope at Parkes are presented. This array offers a significant improvement in field of view, aperture efficiency, bandwidth, chromaticity and survey…
We propose a new matrix factor model, named RaDFaM, which is strictly derived based on the general rank decomposition and assumes a structure of a high-dimensional vector factor model for each basis vector. RaDFaM contributes a novel class…
This work presents a concept for the localisation of Lamb waves using a Passive Phased Array (PPA). A Warped Frequency Transformation (WFT) is applied to the acquired signals using numerically determined phase velocity information to…
The results of four recently introduced beamforming schemes for phased array systems are discussed, each of which is capable to provide high sensitivity and accurate polarimetric performance of array-based radio telescopes. Ideally, a radio…
Context. Phased Array Feeds (PAFs) are multi element receivers in the focal plane of a telescope that make it possible to form simultaneously multiple beams on the sky by combining the complex gains of the individual antenna elements.…
Neural source-filter (NSF) models are deep neural networks that produce waveforms given input acoustic features. They use dilated-convolution-based neural filter modules to filter sine-based excitation for waveform generation, which is…
We describe the development of a noise-temperature testing capability for phased-array antennas operating in receive mode from 0.7 GHz to 1.8 GHz. Sampled voltages from each array port were recorded digitally as the zenith-pointing array…
