本文概述了MeerKAT，南非平方公里阵列（SKA）的前体阵列，将成为SKA第一阶段的一个组成部分。该望远镜位于南非卡鲁中部，并简要介绍了该地点。讨论了天线和馈源、相关器和整体阵列设计，以及校准、成像和RFI缓解。MeerKAT作为一个例子，使命驱动的创新被认为是。计划MeerKAT科学简要概述。本文最后总结了SKA第1和第2阶段的计划。
This paper provides an overview of MeerKAT, the South African Square Kilometre Array (SKA) precursor array that will form an integral part of phase 1 of the SKA. The telescope is located in the central Karoo in South Africa and the site is briefly described. The dish and feed, correlator and overall array design are discussed, as is calibration, imaging and RFI mitigation. MeerKAT as an example of mission driven innovation is considered. Planned MeerKAT science is briefly outlined. The paper concludes with a summary of plans for SKA phases 1 and 2.
