Antenna and Receiver Technologies

Space and Astronomy (formerly CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science) has long been acknowledged as a world leader in pioneering low-noise, high-performance antenna systems and receivers. The group has designed and fabricated systems in use in the ATNF telescopes, as well as other telescopes and antenna systems around the world.

Key capabilities are:

• Cryogenic receivers
• Phased array feeds
• Electromagnetic analysis
• Device characterization
  • Cryogenic noise and S parameters
  • Balanced LNA (noise parameters and S parameters)
  • Feeds and PAFs
• Antenna measurements (More Information)
• Microelectronic assembly
  • Wire bonding
  • On-wafer testing
• Mechanical design & analysis
  • Cryogenic
  • Large structures
  • Composites
• Solid system design: manufacturable, operable and maintainable as well as high performance
