Session 1:
IRAM operates two millimetre observatories on two sites: the NOEMA interferometer located in the French Alps at 2500m altitude with currently 11 antennas of 15m diameter and the 30m telescope in southern Spain, Pico Veleta (3000m). They observe in the 70-373 GHz frequency range. We'll summarise the current receivers status and performance, and present the plans for the near and far future. In part

Session 1:
ASTRON operates the pan-European Low -Frequency Array (LOFAR), a unique
instrument that will complement phase one of the Square Kilometre Array
(SKA), planned for construction in the coming three to five years. After
nearly a decade of scientific operations, LOFAR science output is still
ramping up. However, to keep the telescope at the forefront of science,
a staged upgrade programme LO

Session 1:
A new digital back-end architecture for the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) is being developed at NRAO. The system will consist of several main components that are interconnected through a 100 Gbps Ethernet switch. A pair of dual-channel IF samplers will be placed in the VLBA receiver cabin, producing four VDIF streams at 2048 Gsps and with greater than 8 bits per sample quanitzation. These "di
