CASS Engineering Research
Introduction
A small group devotes some effort to research in order to advance the mainstream activities of the CASS Front End and Back End groups.б All are involved in day-to-day engineering and astronomy projects, especially those projects associated with the centimetre receiver upgrade and the next-generation large radio telescope (SKA).
