[ASA] 2019 URSI Asia Pacific Radio Science Conference

[Chandrashekar Murugeshan]

Dear Colleagues,

The 2019 URSI Asia Pacific Radio Science Conference ( AP-RASC'19) is scheduled to be hosted in New Delhi during Mar 10-15, 2019.

Instrumentation efforts and early results from ASKAP, UTMOST, ATCA and other current radio astronomy facilities would be of interest to the community. Therefore, consider presenting a paper in the conference.

The deadline for a talk submission is 25th October 2018. The main link and session details are given below.  You may circulate this information among potential research colleagues.

J05: Radio Astronomy Instrumentation & Techniques – I (Rcvr Systems: Analog/Digital/Optical Fibre)
Conveners: B Ramesh and S Srikant
Increased bandwidth, sensitivity and wider field of view are some prime characteristics for new generation of receivers on radio telescopes that are being upgraded or built, such as FAST, MWA, ASKAP, Upgraded GMRT, ORT and MOST, as well as SARAS, SWAN, ELI, CSRH to name a few. In order to meet these demands, there has been plenty of research and development efforts taking place in various labs around the globe. This session aims to focus on progress and advances in receiver and radiometer technology. Suggested topics include design and construction of cryogenically cooled heterodyne and bolometers receivers, receivers with LNAs at ambient temperature for traditional multi-beams and phased array feeds (PAF), radiometers, RFI mitigation using PAFs, narrow band filters, HTS filters etc., technology development in the areas of improved dynamic range, time response, spectral bandwidth, spectral resolution, compactness in size etc. Other topics covered in this session include calibration techniques for single telescopes, interferometers and array receivers. This session will provide a forum for those engaged in these activities to share their experience and understanding, as well as to address and discuss possible solutions to meet the present and future challenges.
