The concept of the Radio Schmidt Telescope is designed to fill a scientific requirement for a radio telescope which is very sensitive to diffuse, extended emission, but has much higher resolution than singleantenna telescopes. This telescope undertakes to utilize a new region of “parameter space” in the aperture synthesis technique. The emphasis of this article is on a process leading to the best implementation of the concept at reasonable cost while satisfying all the scientific objectives.
