| 4C Array | The 4C Array is a cylindrical paraboloid radio telescope at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory, similar in design to the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope. It is 450 m long, 20 m wide, with a second, moveable element (now mostly removed; some of it is still visible, beyond COAST). The first large aperture synthesis telescope (1958), it was also the first new instrument to be built at Lord's Bridge, after the Observatory was moved there in 1957, and needed 64 km (40 miles) of reflector wire (since removed). The 4C operated at 178 MHz (1.7 m), and located nearly 5000 sources of the 4C (4th Cambridge) catalogue published in 1965 and 1966, which helped establish the evolution of the radio galaxy population of the universe. The telescope is now inoperable. (references) | ||
| Active Electronically Scanned Array | An Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) is a revolutionary type of radar whose transmitter and receiver functions are composed of numerous small transmit/receive (T/R) modules that each scan a small fixed area, negating the need for a moving antenna. AESA radars feature short to instantaneous (millisecond) scanning rates and have desirable low-probability of intercept characteristics. (references) | ||
| Allen Telescope Array | The Allen Telescope Array (ATA), formerly known as the One Hectare Telescope (1hT), is a joint effort by the SETI Institute and the Radio Astronomy Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley to construct a radio interferometer that will be dedicated to astronomical and simultaneous search for extra-terrestrial intelligence observations. It is being constructed at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory, 290 miles northeast of San Francisco, California and will be composed of 350 antennas at completion. (references) | ||
| Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array | Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array, or AMANDA, detects neutrinos and muons from the flashes they produce in the Antarctice ice sheet. (references) | ||
| Array comparative genomic hybridization | Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (a-CGH) is a method to detect chromosome copy number changes, at a higher resolution level than conventional chromosome-based comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). (references) | ||
| Array Networks | Array Networks is a vendor providing SSL accelerator appliances and hardware to manage web traffic securely. (references) | ||
| Array of Low Energy X-ray Imaging Sensors | The Array of Low Energy X-ray Imaging Sensors (ALEXIS) X-ray telescopes feature curved mirrors whose multilayer coatings reflect and focus low-energy X-rays or extreme ultraviolet light the way optical telescopes focus visible light. The satellite and payloads were funded by the Department of Energy and built by Los Alamos National Laboratory in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratories and the University of California-Space Sciences Lab. The Launch was provided by the Air Force Space Test Program on a Pegasus Booster on April 25, 1993. The mission is entirely controlled from a small groundstation at LANL. (references) | ||
| Array programming | Array programming languages (also known as vector or multidimensional languages) generalize operations on scalars to apply transparently to vectors, matrices, and higher dimensional arrays. (references) | ||
| Array slicing | In computer programming, array slicing is an operation that extracts certain elements from an array and packages them as another array, possibly with different number of indices and different index ranges. Two common examples are extracting a substring from a string of characters (e.g. "kipe" from "wikipedia"), and extracting a row (or a column) of a rectangular matrix to be used as a vector.

| Array Waveguide Grating | Array Waveguide Grating or AWG is a crucial waveguide distribute technique in DWDM. The advantage of AWG is its manufacturing process is similar to that of semiconductor, and can be put into mass automated production. Its production method is to amass SiO2 onto the silicon chip, then using abstruse image process and etching method defining array wave guide, finally adding a protection layer. The principal of AWG is using the physical characteristics of wave guide to distribute different light waves, this technology can distribute many optical channels. (references) | ||
