Abstract

An array of four telescopes has been fabricated to sufficient precision and stability to serve as a testbed for phased array imaging experiments over a wide field of view. The overall optical and mechanical design philosophy is given as well as the analysis of fabrication and assembly tolerances. Finally, the error budget is developed for the entire system.
