According to Dr. Chen Ming-tang, AMiBA project manager, ASIAA research fellow and deputy director of the Hilo operation, AMiBA can sample areas of up to two arc-minutes in size, or about one-fifteenth of the apparent diameter of the moon. This enables it to make observations and search for the data scientists need in a very efficient manner.
AMiBA 計劃統籌者、中研院天文所長期派駐夏威夷的研究員陳明堂指出，這座望遠鏡的解析度最高可達 2 角分，約為月球視直徑的 1/15，每次可觀測的範圍很大，因此能夠有效率地觀測、搜索科學家需要的訊號。
