Cyclic Imaging for All-Sky Interference Forecasting with Array Radio Telescopes
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is threatening modern radio astronomy. A classic approach to mitigate its impact on astronomical data involves discarding the corrupted time and frequency data samples through a process called flagging and blanking. We propose the exploitation of the cyclostationary properties of the RFI signals to reliably detect and predict their locations within an array radio telescope field-of-view, and dynamically schedule the astronomical observations such as to minimize the probability of RFI data corruption.

Polarization based direction of arrival estimation using a radio interferometric array
Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation is mostly performed using specialized arrays that have carefully designed receiver spacing and layouts to match the operating frequency range. In contrast, radio interferometric arra…
Direction of Arrival EstimationDesign of Rim-Located Reconfigurable Reflectarrays for Interference Mitigation in Reflector Antennas
Radio telescopes are susceptible to interference arriving through its sidelobes. If a reflector antenna could be retrofitted with an adaptive null steering system, it could potentially mitigate this interference. The des…
Low Complexity Radio Frequency Interference Mitigation for Radio Astronomy Using Large Antenna Array
With the ongoing growth in radio communications, there is an increased contamination of radio astronomical source data, which hinders the study of celestial radio sources. In many cases, fast mitigation of strong radio f…
