Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), Australia

Positioned at Narrabri, NSW, the ATCA is a six antenna aperture synthesis radio telescope operating in the range of 1-100 GHZ.

Comprising six highly accurate fully steerable antennas, five of which are transportable over a 3 km rail track, we carried out a concept design study for this complex scientific instrument to prove it could be built in Australia.

We were then retained to design the antennas and administer and project manage the construction of the ATCA, which will also be the site for the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) demonstrators.
