SG - UV Maps II






The above images for a 42antenna configuration of Sierpinski Gasket.They are for a 10h synthesis of rotation of 35degree from original and for declination of 15, 19, 30, -30 and -45 degree declination respectively. I have chosen 35degree rotation as that has the maximum uniform coverage. The observatory location is assumed to be BITS, Pilani - Goa Campus.

[some doubts removed after going through the previous posts]


Still....What exactly is a Sierspinski Gasket configuration? (Why something composed of a finite number of antennas should be a sort of fractal isn't totally clear)

Could you explain the antenna configuration in a little more detail? As in, give a diagram of the stationary antenna pattern for 42 antennas in the Gasket config. ?

For all practical purposes, we need to consider a finite number of antennas. The reason for the term 'fractal' is that the configuration is in the form of a Level 3 Sierpinski Gasket.
