iAntConfig is a program that helps the user to design an interferometer layout for radio astronomy. The program allows the user to import or create layouts which can be further tweaked or optimized. Regions and altitude maps can be used to enforce real world constraints.
The layouts are interactively simulated for given observation settings, and are characterised by evaluating performance metrics. These, and other simulation results can be viewed side-by-side, or in an overlapped manner in order to compare the behaviour of different layouts effectively.
iAntConfig is the successor of the Windows program AntConfig and uses the simulation core AntConfigServer. This program is suitable for large scale interferometer design where earth curvature plays a significant role.
