In this paper, an optimization method for designing planar arrays of an aperture synthesis telescope is proposed that is based on distributed genetic algorithm. This distributed genetic algorithm is implemented on a network of workstations using community communication model. Such an aperture synthesis system performs with imperfection of (u, v) components caused by deviations and(or) some missing baselines. With the maximum (u, v)-plane coverage of this rotation-optimized array, the image of the source reconstructed by inverse Fourier transform is satisfactory.展开更多

This article discusses the arrangements of the small apertures in the linear array, and found a method to decide the quality of the arrangements, the judgment factorε is introduced to calculate the arrangements in quantity. There are 1.5x1011 possibilities for 11 apertures. Therefore, the computer procedures are programmed to select the optimum arrangements.
