Large-field radio interferometer at 10.65GHz have been developed to search for transient radio objects such as radio supernovae and radio bursts in stellar systems (Daishido et al. 1984). This is a spatial fast-fourier transform (FFT) type radio interferometer, being an equally-spaced, maximum redundant, two-dimensional (2D) array in an 8 × 8 configuration. Sixty-four identically-designed frontend elements are comprised of 2.4 m diameter cassegrain antennas and 200K HEMT receivers. These are steerable in elevetion and are fixed in azimuth. Although it is only partially operating, the completed system having 64 beams in the northern hemisphere is expected to provide maps having 0.1° angular resolution and a sensitivity of 50 mJy. The beams are formed by a newly-developed “Digital Lens” (complex amplitude equalizer + 2D FFT pipelined processor), with the array’s overall size being 20 × 20m.
