摘要:The Square Kilometre Array Design Study, SKADS, is an international programme partly
funded by the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Community. It includes 26 partners
from 9 EU countries and from 4 non EU countries. Aim of this research programme is to
investigate and to develop new technologies, components, architectures and software algorithms
applicable to the Square Kilometre Array: the next generation radio telescope. In particular,
SKADS focuses on the Aperture Array technology because, even if it is probably the most
expansive, compared to the other, is the most promising and versatile one, and, over all, the only
one that can fully satisfy the strong astronomers’ requirements in the SKA low frequency (i.e.
less than 1GHz) band.
