Abstract
A fully operational demonstrator for the next generation of radio telescopes is presented. EMBRACE is a phased array telescope with enormous potential for the astronomical community. New and innovative science can be performed using these type of telescopes, ultimately for SKA. We will give an overview of EMBRACE, its system architecture and components with its advantages, necessary compromises between performance and cost when building this demonstrator.
