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.
