Radio-astronomical observations are increasingly contaminated by interference, and suppression techniques become essential. A powerful candidate for interference mitigation is adaptive spatial filtering. We study the effect of spatial…

Contamination by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is a ubiquitous challenge for radio astronomy. In particular, transient RFI is difficult to detect and avoid, especially in large data sets with many time bins. In this work, we present a…

Since autumn 2008 a new L-band 7-Feed-Array receiver is used for an HI 21-cm line survey performed with the 100-m Effelsberg telescope. The survey will cover the whole northern hemisphere comprising both, the galactic and extragalactic sky…

This paper introduces the first results of observations with the Ultra-Long-Wavelength (ULW) -- Low Frequency Interferometer and Spectrometer (LFIS) on board the selenocentric satellite Longjiang-2. We present a brief description of the…

Since by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) regulatory the radio spectrum available to spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is restricted to certain limited frequency intervals, there are many different spaceborne SAR…

The Allen Telescope Array is a multi-user instrument and will perform simultaneous radio astronomy and radio SETI (search for extra-terrestrial intelligence) observations. It is a multi-beam instrument, with 16 independently steerable…

We identify a systematic distortion of the gain-vs.-frequency function of radio telescopes caused by digital flattening ("whitening") of the signal's spectrum followed by re-quantization, a common pair of processes in the signal processing…

This paper is the third part of a trilogy dealing with the principles, performance and limitations of what I named "Telescope-Interferometers" (TIs). The basic idea consists in transforming one telescope into a Wavefront Error (WFE) sensing…

In this paper, we propose a novel method for frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar mutual interference mitigation (IM) based on the discrete fractional Fourier transform (DFrFT). Interference chirps are detected and mitigated by…

Radio interferometry calibration and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) removal are usually done separately. Here we show that jointly modelling the antenna gains and RFI has significant benefits when the RFI follows precise trajectories,…

We present a filtering technique that can be applied to individual baselines of wide-bandwidth, wide-field interferometric data to geometrically select regions on the celestial sphere that contain primary calibration sources. The technique…

Studying the universe through radio telescope observation is crucial. However, radio telescopes capture not only signals from the universe but also various interfering signals, known as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). The presence of…

We present results from a first attempt to mitigate radio frequency interference in real-time during astronomical measurements with a phased array feed on the 64 m Parkes radio telescope. Suppression of up to 20 dB was achieved despite…

The "search for extraterrestrial intelligence" (SETI) commensal surveys aim to scan the sky to find possible technosignatures from the extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI). The mitigation of radio frequency interference (RFI) is an important…

We describe a Phased Array Feed (PAF) system, called Apertif, which will be installed in the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT). The aim of Apertif is, at frequencies from 1.0 to 1.7 GHz, to increase the instantaneous field of view…

This paper proposes a method for reducing {third-party} exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) by exploiting the capability of a reconfigurable intelligent surfaces' (RIS) to manipulate the electromagnetic environment. We consider users…

Substantially increasing wireless traffic and extending serving coverage is required with the advent of sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication networks. Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is widely considered as a promising…

The frequencies of interest for redshifted 21 cm observations are heavily affected by terrestrial radio-frequency interference (RFI). We identify the McGill Arctic Research Station (MARS) as a new RFI-quiet site and report its RFI occupancy…

We present the first survey of radio frequency interference (RFI) at the future site of the low frequency Square Kilometre Array (SKA), the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory (MRO), that both temporally and spatially resolves the RFI.…

Full duplex (FD) systems suffer from very high hardware cost and high power consumption to mitigate the self-interference (SI) in the analog domain. Moreover, in millimeter wave (mmWave) they rely on hybrid beamforming (HYBF) as a signal…
