International Workshop on Phased Array Antenna Systems for Radio Astronomy

May 3-5, 2010 Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, USA

Schedule and Technical Program

The workshop technical program will consist of a single session track of oral paper presentations and group discussion periods. The program will focus primarily on critical-path issues for phased array research and development, but will also include tutorial presentations on figures of merit, phased array antenna design, and array signal processing.

Meetings will begin Monday May 3 at 9am, and will conclude Wednesday May 5 in the afternoon (and may possibly end around the lunch hour depending on the final count of presentations).

A detailed technical program will be posted soon. We are still awaiting abstracts from some attendees. Once all abstracts are available, we will organize the daily schedules for the workshop.
