Abstract:	The Indian SWAN (Sky Watch Array Network) initiative aims to significantly enhance Indian observing capabilities in radio, and importantly, also to sustainably build & nurture future generations of talented radio astronomers in India to take up the challenges and lead in exciting research in astronomy. The SWAN focus is to design, develop and use a wide-band interferometric array of antenna across different parts of India to facilitate and conduct deep searches & studies of fast and slow transient radio radiation from astronomical sources, also enabling high angular resolution (VLBI) imaging of discrete galactic & extragalactic sources at low radio frequencies. It also facilitates hands-on experience to a large number of undergraduate/postgraduate students through their direct & active participation, starting from the design stage to competitive research using the array network. The proposed competitive network, with nominally 1000 sq. m array area at each location and operation spanning a decade in frequency (50-500 MHz). In view of the above proposal, a broad-band RF receiver system has been built in EEG laboratory and interfaced with the broad-band digital receiver system.
