• The Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy (AMiBA) , alsoknown as the Yuan-Tseh Lee Array for Microwave BackgroundAnisotropy
• This project:
• • led, designed, constructed, and operated by the Academic SinicaInstitute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA)
  • major collaborations with National Taiwan University, PhysicsDepartment (NTUP), Electrical Engineering Department (NTUEE)and  the Australian Telescope National Facility (ATNF).
  • Contributions also came from the Carnegie Mellon University(CMU), and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).
• AMiBA is a radio telescope designed to observe the cosmicmicrowave background and the Sunyaev-Zel''dovich effect in clustersof galaxies.
• AMiBA is currently configured as a 7-element interferometer,using 0.576 m Cassegrain dishes mounted on a 6 m carbonfibre hexapod mount. It is located on Mauna Loa in Hawaii, at 3,396m above sea, and observes at 3 mm (86102 GHz) to minimizeforegrounds.The telescope has a retractable shelter, made fromseven steel trusses and PVC fabric.
