The Square Kilometre Array: An International Project To Realize The World's Largest Radio Telescope
The Square Kilometre Array is one of the most complex science projects ever conceived. The scientific drivers are important questions about the evolution of the early Universe, fundamental physics, study of galaxies and stars across time, formation of exo-planetary systems and astrobiology. The scientific requirements such as sensitivity and resolution are so hard that the required technology a...
متن کاملGain Decomposition Methods for Radio Telescope Arrays
In radio telescope arrays, the complex receiver gains and sensor noise powers are initially unknown and have to be calibrated. Gain calibration enhances the quality of astronomical sky images and moreover, improve the effectiveness of certain radio telescope phased-array data processing techniques, such as radio interference (RFI) mitigation and beamforming. In this paper we present several clo...
متن کاملGain calibration methods for radio telescope arrays
In radio telescope arrays, the complex receiver gains and sensor noise powers are initially unknown and have to be calibrated. Gain calibration can enhance the quality of astronomical sky images and, moreover, improve the effectiveness of array signal processing techniques for interference mitigation and spatial filtering. A challenging aspect is that the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is usually ...
متن کاملSome Radio Telescope Considerations in Millimeter and Submillimeter Radio Astronomy
We review some aspects of radio telescope performance, particularly those relating to the characteristics of the feed system used for illuminating the antenna. We discuss the aperture eeciency, radiation pattern, beam width, and coupling and beam eeciencies, emphasizing the eeect of the aperture illumination on these quantities. The discussion should be useful for understanding calibration of a...
متن کاملRecent Radio Monitoring of Microquasars with Ratan-600 Radio Telescope
We report about the multi-frequency (1-30 GHz) daily monitoring of the radio flux variability of the three microquasars: SS433, GRS1915+105 and Cyg X-3 during the period from September 2005 to May 2006. 1. We detected clear correlation of the flaring radio fluxes and X-rays ’spikes’ at 2-12 keV emission detected in RXTE ASM from GRS1915+105 during eight relatively bright (200-600 mJy) radio fla...
