  Australia Telescope Compact Array - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Australia Telescope Compact Array is a radio telescope at the Paul Wild Observatory, twenty five kilometres west of the town of Narrabri in Australia.
The telescope is an array of six identical twenty two meter diameter dishes, which commonly operate in aperture synthesis mode to produce radio images.
The array is frequently operated together with the sixty four meter dish at the Parkes Observatory and a single dish at Mopra (near Coonabarabran), to form a very long baseline interferometry array.

We present the Virtual Radio Interferometer, a Java applet which allows the demonstration of earth-rotation aperture synthesis by simulating existing and imaginary telescopes.
When the inverse Fourier transform is applied, the original image of the source is replaced by the image obtained by ``observing'' it with the simulated interferometer.
Finally, uv-plots generated by a number of antenna configurations, or even different observatories, may be combined to generate an image composed of multiple ``observations''.
