SKA-Low prototype confirms its sunflower antenna layout loses sensitivity at 125 MHz

SKA Observatory engineers found a sensitivity dip at 125 MHz on the 256-antenna AAVS3 prototype and ruled its sunflower layout out of the final telescope. The modified spiral that replaces it drops the repeating 2.4-meter spacings and has so far been checked only in simulation.
