About Us The Submillimeter Array is an 8-element radio interferometer located atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Operating at frequencies from 180 GHz to 900 GHz, the 6m dishes may be arranged into configurations with b aselines as long as 500m, producing a synthesized beam of sub-arcsecond width. Each element can observe with two receiv ers simultaneously, with 2 GHz bandwidth each. The digital correlator backend allows flexible allocation of thousands o f spectral channels to each receiver.
