It is shown tuat a configuration foi the LASA of thirteen subarrays (A, B, C, and D rings) with 16 sensors per subarray prodaces an average loss of 0.2+0.3 db (one standard deviation o*" the mean) from the current configuration of sevanteen subarrays (A, B, C, D, and E rings) using sixteen sensors per subarray.
