Design Blueprint: An Aperture-Synthesis Radio Array Sized from Receiver Noise and Survey Speed: A Computed Design

Design blueprint derived from the source paper (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24150236): This paper presents a computed design for a ground-based aperture-synthesis radio observatory of 214 parabolic antennas of 18 m diameter, and derives its performance from receiver noise, collecting area and baseline geometry rather than adopting the figures of any existing instrument. The total effective collecting area is 35,397 square metres, giving a system equivalent flux density of 1.95 Jy at Status: DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT. All numbers are simulated values from the source paper's computation, deposited with this blueprint as compute.py and results.json. AI-use disclosure: Dave, an AI research system, assisted with the computation and drafting under the author's direction; author of record William Alexander Aldred.
