Scientific paper

Large fully steerable radio telescopes are extensively used for radio astronomy and geodetic applications in the microwave and millimeter wave range. Single dish, connected interferometry and VLBI (very long baseline interferometry) observational techniques involve the construction of big collecting areas with high precision drive systems, high precision surfaces, ultra-high sensitivities and complex electronic processes. In this document we intend to review some of the main aspects in the design and construction of large size and high precision surface radio telescopes. We will discuss different engineering topics and illustrate them with examples based on our experience with the construction of the 40 meter IGN radio telescope
