Here antenna 4 is getting a second-generation Phased-Array Feed. The right
most ASKAP antenna is part of the Boolardy Engineering Test Array (BETA),
which consists of 6 x 12-m ASKAP dishes with first-generation PAFs. The
full ASKAP interferometer will have 36 PAF-equipped dishes, delivering
great sensitivity, good resolution and an amazing 30 square degrees field
of view. The Wajarri-Yamatji name of ASKAP antenna 4 is Bimba (= Edible gum) |
