The Square Kilometre Array: Paving the way for the new 21st century radio astronomy paradigm Proceedings of Symposium 7 of JENAM 2010

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will provide more than one order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity compared with any existing radio telescope over a wavelength range of several hundred to one, from decametric to microwave wavelengths. It will revolutionize the study of the most abundant eleme...
