Antenna design for the SKA1-LOW and HERA super radio telescopes
Abstract
This paper summarizes the design process and metrics for the latest antenna design for 2 radio telescopes, SKALA4 for the SKA1-LOW instrument and the V-feed for the HERA telescope. In the paper we briefly describe the main features of the antenna element design and the most important figures of merit for both instruments. Finally, we show the response of both designs against some of these figures of merit.
