SKADS Benchmark Scenario

The SKADS Benchmark Scenario is a special case of the SKA Reference Design (SKA memo 69) for which the low and mid frequencies are covered by a technology based on aperture plane phased arrays. The development of densely packed aperture-plane phased-arrays for the mid frequencies is the main technological thrust of the European Square Kilometre Array Design Studies.

SKADS aims to provide a cost-effective technology which satisfies all the SKA science requirements. As such, the Benchmark Scenario evolves as the technology matures. Scientists and engineers interested in SKA development are invited to participate in the definition and evaluation of the SKADS Benchmark by contributing to the discussion on the SKADS Benchmark Wiki.
