2 x 1.8m, giving an equivalent size
of a 3.4m (note not quite double size).


2 x 1.8m dishes would have the equivalent area of a single 2.5m if there are no other losses involved, so the complexity of combining will not be offset by the increase in signal from the phased array

Good in thory but a pipe dream in practice
