Design Concepts for Strawperson Antenna Configurations for the MMA

T.T. Helfer [1], M.A. Holdaway [1]

Keywords: array configurations, Fourier plane coverage

We present concepts that will be used to guide the design of strawperson configurations for the Millimeter Array. The four configurations include 36 +/- 4 element arrays of 10 m antennas. The most compact configuration is a filled array of diameter 95 m; the three other configurations are ringlike arrays of diameters 236 m, 842 m, and 3 km. We describe plans for detailed studies that will be used to refine these concepts and which will be used to produce strawperson configurations for the MMA.
