Extract

The highest frequency at which a radiotelescope can be used depends on the surface accuracy. The rms error of the surface should be less then l/16th of the shortest wavelength. This should be not only under static conditions but also when the telescope is being driven, under the influence of wind and temperature changes. With this in mind we can trace back the development of the paraboloidal dish since the time when Grote Reber constructed his antenna in Wheaton, Illinois.
