Abstract
We are developing a 2 to 25 MHz, medium and high frequency (MF/HF) antenna array, for radar and radio imaging of the ionosphere.This white paper contains a technical description of the array.The main array will consist of 64 active crossed antenna elements arranged in a partly ordered and partly random pattern providing a good distribution of baseline vectors, with 7-meter minimum and 400-meter maximum baselines.Relocatable cable-less antenna elements will also be included, with phase maintained through the use of GPS-disciplined rubidium clocks.These elements may be used independently, or together with the main array for improved imaging resolution.The proposed location is at the site of the former U.S. Air Force Ramey Solar Observatory (RSO), in Aguadilla in northwest Puerto Rico.Radar imaging will be done in collaboration with the University of Colorado and NOAA HF radar system located at the USGS San Juan Observatory in Cayey, 110
