Antenna design for the SKA1-LOW and HERA super radio telescopes

Understand

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.
