Examination of a simple pulse blanking technique for RFI mitigation

چکیده
Spectroscopy at L-band can be adversely impacted by radio frequency interference (RFI) due to the presence of numerous sources, especially pulsed RFI from radars operating below 1400 MHz. RFI mitigation is very important to deal with this problem. A simple strategy for reducing pulsed RFI termed “asynchronous pulse blanking” has been implemented in a digital receiver developed at The Ohio State University. This paper presents results from a simulation of the APB algorithm. Several aspects of algorithm use and performance are reported, including means for choosing the algorithm’s parameters and the robustness of the method in a realistic RFI environment. Effects of the blanking process on the final output are also examined.

متن کاملRFI Mitigation in Microwave Radiometry Using Wavelets
The performance of microwave radiometers can be seriously degraded by the presence of radio-frequency interference (RFI). Spurious signals and harmonics from lower frequency bands, spread-spectrum signals overlapping the “protected” band of operation, or out-of-band emissions not properly rejected by the pre-detection filters due to the finite rejection modify the detected power and the estimat...
متن کاملExascale Real-Time Radio Frequency Interference Mitigation
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) mitigation is extremely important to take advantage of the vastly improved bandwidth, sensitivity, and field-of-view of exascale telescopes. For current instruments, RFI mitigation is typically done offline, and in some cases (partially) manually. At the same time, it is clear that due to the high bandwidth requirements, RFI mitigation will have to be done aut...
