Description
A new method for optimizing the layout of radio telescope antenna arrays will be presented. These methods are are based on the SVD of the telescope operator, and provide a flexible method for choosing optimal antenna positions. The method is applied to choosed antenna positions for the TART telescope, and this has led to the latest spiral antenna designs used in the African TART telescopes in Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Namibia and Zambia.
