The hydrogen epoch of reionization array dish. II. Characterization of spectral structure with electromagnetic simulations and its science implications

We use time-domain electromagnetic simulations to determine the spectral characteristics of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Arrays (HERA) antenna. These simulations are part of a multi-faceted campaign to determine the effectiveness of the dish's design for obtaining a detection of redshifte...
