Description
I will review the design and status of the Murchison Widefield Array and its capabilities for observing the Epoch of
Reionization. In addition I will discuss the challenges of instrumental calibration and foreground subtraction facing all
21 cm EoR observatories; the constraints these observational and astrophysical effects place on the measurements;
and how these constraints affect efforts to cross-correlate 21 cm observations with measurements in other wave
bands.
