Phased array feeds and aperture arrays are transitioning from research to development for synthesis imaging instruments, Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Pathfinders, and large single reflector telescopes. Previous workshops and symposia in Dwingeloo, Sydney, Provo, and elsewhere have played an important role in formulating science requirements, standardizing performance metrics, and accelerating progress through strong international collaborations. As part of series of meetings, Brigham Young University is pleased to host a workshop on PAF system discussions. This year's meeting has a focus on preparing for the PrepSKA WP2.2 CoDR for Square Kilometre Array PAF subsystems but other interested PAF developers are welcome to attend.
Technical Program and Registration: Carole Jackson, CSIRO, Australia
Local Arrangements: Karl F. Warnick and Brian D. Jeffs, Brigham Young University, USA
To register for the meeting, contact Carole Jackson. There is no registration charge. Attendees and contributions must be approved in advance by the workshop organizers.
