We present a model for a Noise Matched Phased Array Feed (PAF) system and compare model predictions with the measurement results. The PAF system consists of an array feed, a receiver, a beamformer and a parabolic reflector. The novel aspect…

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…

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.…

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 describe a Phased Array Feed (PAF) system, called Apertif, which will be installed in the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT). The aim of Apertif is, at frequencies from 1.0 to 1.7 GHz, to increase the instantaneous field of view…

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.…

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 report, we present the phased array feed (PAF) model equations for two definitions of embedded beam patterns. In Roshi \& Fisher (2016), we presented the PAF model by defining the embedded beam pattern as the beam pattern due to a 1…

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…

We present first results from pilot observations using a phased array feed (PAF) mounted on the Parkes 64-m radio telescope. The observations presented here cover a frequency range from 1150 to 1480 MHz and are used to show the ability of…

We describe the APERture Tile In Focus (Apertif) system, a phased array feed (PAF) upgrade of the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope which has transformed this telescope into a high-sensitivity, wide field-of-view L-band imaging and…

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…

A phased-array antenna is a device that generates radiation patterns whose shape and direction can be electronically controlled by tailoring the amplitude and phase of the signals that feed each element of the array. These devices provide…

This paper presents a new approach to efficiently maximizing the energy efficiency (EE) of hybrid arrays under a practical setting of non-ideal power amplifiers (PAs) and non-negligible circuit power, where coherent and non-coherent…

Current literature show that frequency diverse arrays (FDAs) are able of producing range-angle-dependent and time-variant transmit beampatterns, but the resulting time and range dependencies and their characteristics are still not well…

Low-noise phased arrays are essential for the next generation of microwave and submillimetre wave astronomy. We analyze their behaviour from a functional perspective, and show that their operation is intimately related to the mathematical…

In the phased-array radar (PAR) signals from each antenna are transmitted at the same carrier frequency, which yields narrowly focused only angle dependent beampattern. In contrast, in the frequency-diverse-array (FDA) radar signals from…

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…

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 } $, $…

Microwave, submillimetre-wave, and far-infrared phased arrays are of considerable importance for astronomy. We consider the behaviour imaging phased arrays and interferometric phased arrays from a functional perspective. It is shown that…
