Abstract :
Aperture Arrays (AA) mark a new era in radio astronomy combining high sensitivity with a large field-of-view, enabling very high survey and imaging speeds. This paper describes the development of low frequency aperture arrays leading up to SKA phase 1 within the Aperture Array Verification Program (AAVP) as part of the SKA program.
