Update on the SKA Offset Optics Design for the U.S. Technology Development ProjectThe U.S. design concept for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) program is based on utilizing a large number of small-diameter dish antennas in the 12 to 15 meter diameter range. The Technology Development Project (TDP) is planning to design and build the first of these antennas to provide a demonstration of the technology and a solid base on which to estimate costs. The latest considerations for selecting both the optics and feed design are presented.
