| Low Frequency Options for FASR |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| • | Cheapest
option: stay at 500 MHz lower cutoff |
||||||||
| • | “Friend
of LOFAR” option: go down to 200 MHz and leave |
||||||||
| lower
frequencies to LOFAR |
|||||||||
| - relies on present LOFAR plans being realized |
|||||||||
| - relies on LOFAR being in
the US |
|||||||||
| - relies on LOFAR donating a
beam to the Sun, |
|||||||||
| including a “Dutch beam”
(> 160 MHz) |
|||||||||
| • | “European”
or “standard” (?) option: go down to the FM |
||||||||
| band
at 100 MHz but this
misses type IIs and type IVs |
|||||||||
| • | Expensive
option: go down to 30 MHz and deal with the |
||||||||
| ionosphere |
