Design and Optimization of a Low-Cost 5-m Radio Telescope at Princess Nourah University (PNU), Saudi Arabia

Yazan M. Allawi, Eman M. Moneer, Modar Shbat, Walid M. Dyab, Mosab J. Banisalman and Norah M. Alwadai

This paper presents the design and optimization of the 5 m fixed zenith-pointing radio telescope at Princess Nourah University (PNU) for observation of the 1420 MHz neutral-hydrogen line. It documents the reflector, feed design and performance of one of the historical fixed telescopes in the EMXplore Radio Astronomy project. See the PNU fixed telescope.
