<description>
LOFAR Pl610 is a single station of the Low-Frequency Array designed by ASTRON. It is located in Borowiec, Poland and operated by CBK PAN. It consists of a 70 m wide Low Band Antenna (LBA) array with 96 elements, a 56.5 m wide High Band Antenna (HBA) array composed of 96 antenna tiles and a total of 96 digital Receiver Units (RCU's). The operating frequency range of LOFAR is 10 MHz to 240 MHz, while the antennas are optimised for the ranges of 30-80 MHz (LBA) and 120-240 MHz (HBA). The station can work in two observing modes; as a part of the International LOFAR Telescope or in a single station mode.
