Version 1 CARMA Configurations for Cedar Flat

We present a set of six CARMA configurations for the Cedar Flat site,
using six 10.4m OVRO antennas and nine 6.1m BIMA antennas.  The
configurations include a compact F array, which is designed to have good
uv coverage at the shortest allowed spacings without sacrificing beam
quality. The E, D, C, and A arrays have roughly constant scale resolution
factors of about 2-2.5 between adjacent arrays.  An alternate
long-baseline B array is included that is an elongated maximal array using
the site constraint that all antennas lie east of Rte 168. All together,
65 stations are needed to populate the six arrays, if no central concrete
slab is used.
