A broad-band flux scale for low-frequency radio telescopes
We present parametrized broad-band spectral models valid at frequencies between 30 and 300 MHz for six bright radio sources selected from the 3C survey, spread in right ascension from 0 to 24 h. For each source, data from the literature are compiled and tied to a common flux density scale. These data are then used to parametrize an analytic polynomial spectral calibration model. The optimal pol...
متن کاملA Soft X-ray Polarimeter Designed for Broad-band X-ray Telescopes
A novel approach for measuring linear X-ray polarization over a broad-band using conventional imaging optics and cameras is described. A new type of high efficiency grating, called the critical angle transmission grating is used to disperse soft X-rays radially from the telescope axis. A set of multilayer-coated paraboloids re-image the dispersed X-rays to rings in the focal plane. The intensit...
متن کاملLow-Frequency Model for Radio-Frequency Absorbers
A simple model is developed to characterize the behavior of radio-frequency absorbers at low frequency. The absorber is represented by a flat, homogeneous, isotropic slab of lossy material, with effective constitutive parameters. These parameters are determined by a fit to measured data. Excellent fits are obtained in the two applications considered. The model is intended for use in the charact...
متن کاملUltra Wide band Low Noise amplifier for Low frequency applications in Radio Astronomy
Now it is well recognized that although Jansky discovered radio astronomy at decametric wavelengths, the quest for higher angular resolution and the difficulties in handling ionospheric effects have left the low frequency (below 150 MHz) spectrum poorly explored. This is despite many unique astrophysical questions that can be better addressed at low frequencies, and problems requiring accurate ...
متن کاملA Concurrent Dual-Band Low Noise Amplifier for GNSS Receivers
In this paper, a new design of concurrent dual-band Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for multi-band single-channel Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers is proposed. This new structure is able to operate concurrently at frequency of 1.2 and 1.57 GHz. Parallel and series resonance parts are employed in the input matching in order to achieve concurrent performance. With respect to used pse...
