Scientific paper

The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), supported in the US by a grant from the National Science Foundation, is a first-generation instrument designed to detect and characterize redshifted 21cm signals from neutral hydrogen during the epoch of reionization at z 10. An important goal of the effort is to do pathfinding for subsequent generations of EoR instruments, and to directly inform the design of the planned Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) phase 2 array. Such an instrument would be roughly 10 times larger than MWA. We describe the design of MWA, what we expect to learn from its use, and the ways we plan to use that knowledge in the HERA-II design.
