Abstract
The Bologna Cross radio telescope operates at 408 MHz and consists of an east-west arm in the form of a large cylindrical reflector antenna 30 m * 564 m in extent and a second arm in the form of a large multiple interferometer arranged in the north-south direction. The feed characteristics and overall antenna performance of the east-west arm telescope have been calculated, and results not previously available have been provided. These results show that the original antenna was well-designed.<>
