### Omniscopes: Large area telescope arrays with only NlogN computational cost

• Physics
• 2010
We show that the class of antenna layouts for telescope arrays allowing cheap analysis hardware (with correlator cost scaling as NlogN rather than N{sup 2} with the number of antennas N) is

### Non-linear Redundancy Calibration

• Mathematics
• 2013
This work proposes to use a standard non-linear minimization algorithm to solve for both the antenna gains as well as the true visibilities of radio interferometric arrays, and demonstrates that the estimator is indeed statistically efficient, achieving the Cramer-Rao bound.

### Mitigating the effects of antenna-to-antenna variation on redundant-baseline calibration for 21 cm cosmology

• Physics
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
• 2019
The separation of cosmological signal from astrophysical foregrounds is a fundamental challenge for any effort to probe the evolution of neutral hydrogen during the Cosmic Dawn and epoch of

### Fast Fourier transform telescope

• Physics
• 2009
We propose an all-digital telescope for 21 cm tomography, which combines key advantages of both single dishes and interferometers. The electric field is digitized by antennas on a rectangular grid,

### MITEoR: a scalable interferometer for precision 21 cm cosmology

• Physics
• 2014
We report on the MIT Epoch of Reionization (MITEoR) experiment, a pathfinder low-frequency radio interferometer whose goal is to test technologies that improve the calibration precision and reduce

### Comparing Redundant and Sky-model-based Interferometric Calibration: A First Look with Phase II of the MWA

• Physics
The Astrophysical Journal
• 2018
The first results from comparing both calibration approaches with MWA Phase II observations are presented, showing substantial agreement between redundant visibility measurements after calibration and improved calibration by combining OMNICAL and FHD.

### Precision calibration of radio interferometers using redundant baselines

• Environmental Science
• 2010
The errors and biases in existing redundant calibration schemes are explored through simulations, and it is shown how statistical biases can be eliminated and slight deviations from perfect redundancy and coplanarity can be taken into account.
