ATCA Station Locations

The names of Station Posts on the East-West track are generated from their distance, in multiples of 30.612 metres, from the eastern most station post on the Compact Array (W0). Similarly, the names of station posts on the North Spur are generated from their increment from the southernmost station post on the north spur (W106).

Notes: 1. Antennas 1 to 5 are confined to stations W0 to W196 and N spur stations: Antenna 6 is permanently stationed on station W392. Antennas must be separated by $\geq$30m. 2. $d$ is the distance in m from W0 at the eastern end of the array, or, for N stations, the distance from the EW track. 3. Old Names were used before 2002.
