Progress and Future Directions of SKADS: Mid-Term Review Workshop Highlights

The SKADS project has achieved considerable progress in its first year, despite a delayed start for many design studies. This overview reflects on the well-defined structure of the project, noting that four out of six design studies are on track. Highlights for the next 18 months include preliminary reports on SKA configurations, site selection, network analysis, and the preparation of key prototypes. The goal of the upcoming Mid-Term Review is to validate the viability of Aperture Arrays technology and refine technical maturity and cost models.

  6. Technical Progress (highlights) next 18 months • DS 2 Preliminary Report on SKA configurations • DS 3: Report on site selection+phase transfer links, network analysis and report on MDA constructs • DS 4: 2-PAD design freeze • DS 5 First tile prototype is ready, 10-tile prototype in preparation • DS 6 BEST 1 is ready and BEST 2 well on the way • DS 7 Mid Term Review in Q3 2007 SKADS Workshop 2006

  7. Towards Mid Term Review (MTR) • Goal is to show: • That configurations using Aperture Arrays are a viable technology to be used in SKA • Technical studies should focus on technical maturity and constructive cost models SKADS Workshop 2006
