RFIMS-CART
RADIO ASTRONOMY · RFI
Radio frequency interference (RFI) monitoring system for the Argentine-Chinese Radio Telescope. Broadband and narrowband measurements, development of SDR-based detection algorithms.
Project Description
Development of a radio frequency interference (RFI) monitoring system for the Argentine-Chinese Radio Telescope (CART). The project included broadband and narrowband measurements at the observatory site, development of SDR-based RFI detection algorithms, and implementation of an alert system. Measurement campaigns were carried out at El Leoncito National Park.
