Understanding the fuss about RFI on Radio Telescope Sites
Radio frequency interference (RFI) is a by-product of our daily lives. Mitigating where and when we produce this can improve our ability to receive radio waves conceived in deep space. Allowing us to look back into the origins of the universe.
RFI-HUB is an online repository for RFI information related to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). It brings together documents, information, data and online displays for easy access, enabling you to learn about:
Radio astronomy
What is RFI
Effects of RFI on radio astronomy
How to measure RFI
How to minimise RFI
What role the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO) plays in managing RFI
If you would like to explore the world of radio astronomy and see how you can play a role, follow this introduction.
