Description
The QiTai radio Telescope (QTT) is a fully steerable, Gregorian-type telescope with an aperture diameter of 110 meters. It is located in Qitai County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. Construction of the QTT began in 2022 and is scheduled for completion in 2028. The observing frequency range of the QTT spans from 150 MHz to 115 GHz. The QTT features an active main surface, with actuators used to correct reflector deformation. For its early scientific goals, the QTT will be equipped with ultra-wideband receivers and phase array feeds (PAF). Electromagnetic compatibility and radio frequency interference control techniques are integrated throughout the system design.
