Abstract content
The Mexican Array Radio Telescope (MEXART) consists of a 64x64 (4096) full wavelength
dipole antenna array, operating at 140 MHz, occupying 9,500 square meters (70 m x 140
m) to carry out interplanetary scintillation (IPS) observations. This is a dedicated
radio array for IPS observations located in the state of Michoacan (350 km north-west
from Mexico City, lat. 19
