Special Issues at Low frequencies: Interferences(ctd.)
•Mean level interferences ( <40db above quiet sun)
–At the lower end of the band (< 300 MHz):
•It is very difficult to find a 1 Mhz clean band
•Interferences have a small bandwidth ( 5-20 kHz)
–This imply:
•Small observing bandwidth, very good filters.
•Digital interference excision will require high dynamic, high resolution spectra and filters.
–There are (at present) less problems above 300 MHz…
•
•Don ’t forget internal interferences, mainly from high speed digital electronics.
