Here we briefly present some design approaches for a multifrequency 96-antenna radioheliograph. The array antenna configuration, transmission lines and digital receivers are the main focus of this work. The radioheliograph is a T-shaped centrally-condensed radiointerferometer operating at the frequency range 4-8~GHz. The justification for the choice of such a configuration is discussed. The antenna signals are transmitted to a workroom by analog optical links. The dynamic range and phase errors of the microwave-over-optical signal are considered. The signals after downconverting are processed by the digital receivers for delay tracking and fringe stopping. The required delay tracking step and data rates are considered. Two 3-bit data streams (I and Q) are transmitted to a correlator with the transceivers embedded in FPGA (Field Programmed Gate Array) chips and with PCI Express cables.

The Chinese Spectral RadioHeliograph (CSRH) is a synthetic aperture radio interferometer built in Inner Mongolia, China. As a solar-dedicated interferometric array, CSRH is capable of producing high quality radio images at frequency range from 400 MH z to 15 GHz with high temporal, spatial, and spectral resolution.To implement high cadence imaging at wide-band and obtain more than 2 order higher multiple frequencies, the implementation of the data processing system for CSRH is a great challenge. It is urgent to build a pipeline for processing massive data of CSRH generated every day. In this paper, we develop a high performance distributed data processing pipeline (DDPP) built on the OpenCluster infrastructure for processing CSRH observational data including data storage, archiving, preprocessing, image reconstruction, deconvolution, and real-time monitoring. We comprehensively elaborate the system architecture of the pipeline and the implementation of each subsystem. The DDPP is automatic, robust, scalable and manageable. The processing performance under multi computers parallel and GPU hybrid system meets the requirements of CSRH data processing. The study presents an valuable reference for other radio telescopes especially aperture synthesis telescopes, and also gives an valuable contribution to the current and/or future data intensive astronomical observations.
Regular observations of active processes in the solar atmosphere have been started using the first stage of the multiwave Siberian Radioheliograph (SRH), a T-shaped 48-antenna array with a 4-8 GHz operating frequency range and a 10 MHz instantaneous receiving band. Antennas are mounted on the central antenna posts of the Siberian Solar Radio Telescope. The maximum baseline is 107.4 m, and the angular resolution is up to 70. We present examples of observations of the solar disk at different frequencies, negative bursts, and solar flares. The sensitivity to compact sources reaches 0.01 solar flux units ($approx 10^{-4}$ of the total solar flux) with an accumulation time of about 0.3 s. The high sensitivity of SRH enables monitoring of solar activity and allows studying active processes from characteristics of their microwave emission, including faint events, which could not be detected previously.
Following the selection of The Gravitational Universe by ESA, and the successful flight of LISA Pathfinder, the LISA Consortium now proposes a 4 year mission in response to ESAs call for missions for L3. The observatory will be based on three arms wi th six active laser links, between three identical spacecraft in a triangular formation separated by 2.5 million km. LISA is an all-sky monitor and will offer a wide view of a dynamic cosmos using Gravitational Waves as new and unique messengers to unveil The Gravitational Universe. It provides the closest ever view of the infant Universe at TeV energy scales, has known sources in the form of verification binaries in the Milky Way, and can probe the entire Universe, from its smallest scales near the horizons of black holes, all the way to cosmological scales. The LISA mission will scan the entire sky as it follows behind the Earth in its orbit, obtaining both polarisations of the Gravitational Waves simultaneously, and will measure source parameters with astrophysically relevant sensitivity in a band from below $10^{-4},$Hz to above $10^{-1},$Hz.
Antenna efficiency is one of the most important figures-of-merit of a radio telescope for observations especially at millimeter wavelengths or shorter wavelengths, even for a multibeam radio telescope. To analyze a system with a beam waveguide, a los sless antenna consisting of two apertures in series is considered in the frame of the scalar wave approximation. We found that the antenna efficiency can be evaluated with the field distribution over the second aperture, and that the antenna efficiency is factorized into three factors: efficiencies of beam coupling, transmission spillover, and reception spillover. The factorization is applicable to general aperture-type antennas with beam waveguides, and can relate the aperture efficiency to the pupil function. We numerically confirmed our factorization with an optical simulation. This evaluation enables us to manage the aberrations and is useful in design of multibeam radio telescopes.
This document was submitted as part of the SKA Low Frequency Aperture Array Critical Design Review describing the electromagnetic design of the SKA1-LOW antenna that took place between 2013 and 2018. The SKA1 LOW antenna has been developed over the last decade. Since 2011 an antenna of the type Log-Periodic Antenna that is now in its 4th iteration, SKALA4 (SKA Log-periodic Antenna v4), has been developed and was the selected candidate for SKA1-LOW after the Cost Control project efforts of 2017. This document describes the electromagnetic design of the antenna. In the submission for the antenna selection process, a detailed description of the antenna performance can be found. The Field Node Detailed Design Document, also submitted for the SKA LFAA Critical Design Review, presents a detailed design of the mechanics and the LNA as well.
