National Radio Astronomy Observatory

Large radio telescope arrays such as the Very Large Array and Very Long Baseline Array challenge the state-of-the-art of microwave technology in many areas. Examples include the design of optimized sparse arrays and the design and economic construction of high performance, frequency flexible antennas, reliable low noise receivers and highly phase stable local oscillator systems.
