Radio Interferometric Array - SCMA

Abstract

This paper gives the analysis and the solution to a radio interferometric array - SCMA (Serbian Centimeter/Millimeter Array). SCMA will be made of three experimental dish antennas, with an aim to study the high energy processes mainly in the Solar atmosphere, by application of detection and localization in the microwave frequency range (1-50 GHz). System design is modeled as e-VLBI configuration, providing the maximum angular resolution of ≈ 0 .′′ 004. We simulate interferometric observations using models of idealized radio sources. The corresponding data were reconstructed using the CLEAN algorithm. The research shows that SCMA observing efficiency of non-thermal, thermal and line emissions of Galactic and cosmic scale sources is theoretically affirmed.
