We investigate the performance of the generalized Spectral Kurtosis (SK) estimator in detecting and discriminating natural and artificial very short duration transients in the 2-bit sampling time domain Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry…

We investigate the effectiveness of the statistical radio frequency interference (RFI) mitigation technique spectral kurtosis (SK) in the face of simulated realistic RFI signals. SK estimates the kurtosis of a collection of M power values…

We obtain analytical approximations for the expectation and variance of the Spectral Kurtosis estimator in the case of Gaussian and coherent transient time domain signals mixed with a quasi-stationary Gaussian background, which are suitable…

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) increasingly contaminates the radio astronomy spectrum, often exceeding astronomical signal amplitudes by 50-70 dB. Reliable detection and mitigation are therefore essential for studies of faint transient…

We describe in general terms the practical use in astronomy of a higher-order statistical quantity called Spectral Kurtosis (SK), and describe the first implementation of SK-enabled firmware in the F-engine (Fourier transform-engine) of a…

We present the implementation of a spectral kurtosis based Radio Frequency Interference detection system on the CHIME instrument and its reduced-scale pathfinder. Our implementation extends single-receiver formulations to the case of a…

RFI mitigation is a critically important issue in radio astronomy using existing instruments as well as in the development of next-generation radio telescopes, such as the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). Most designs for the SKA involve…

We describe how to implement the spectral kurtosis method of interference removal (zapping) on a digitized signal of averaged power values. Spectral kurtosis is a hypothesis test, analogous to the t-test, with a null hypothesis that the…

In this paper we present an interference detection toolbox consisting of a high dynamic range Digital Fast-Fourier-Transform spectrometer (DFFT, based on FPGA-technology) and data analysis software for automated radio frequency interference…

Radio-frequency interference (RFI) is becoming an increasingly significant problem for most radio telescopes. Working with Green Bank Telescope data from PSR J1730+0747 in the form of complex-valued channelized voltages and their respective…

There exists an inordinate amount of spectral data in both public and private astronomical archives which remain severely under-utilised. The lack of reliable open-source tools for analysing large volumes of spectra contributes to this…

A selection of statistically stable (robust) algorithms for data variance calculating has been made. Their properties have been analyzed via computer simulation. These algorithms would be useful if adopted in radio astronomy observations in…

As an old and widely used tool, it is still possible to find new insights and applications from Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)-based analyses. The FFT is frequently used to generate the Power Spectral Density (PSD) function, by squaring the…

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) of impulsive nature is created by sources like sparking on high-power transmission lines due to gap or corona discharge and automobile sparking, and it affects the entire observing frequency bands of…

A technique is described that is used to improve the detection of radio-frequency interference in astronomical radio observatories. It is applied on a two-dimensional interference mask after regular detection in the time-frequency domain…

A method of radio frequency interference (RFI) suppression in radio astronomy spectral observations is described based on the analysis of the probability distribution of an instantaneous spectrum. This method allows the separation of the…

Diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) is a methodology for measuring the extent of non-Gaussian diffusion in biological tissue, which has shown great promise in clinical diagnosis, treatment planning and monitoring of many neurological…

The growing need for electromagnetic spectrum to support the next generation (xG) communication networks increasingly generate unwanted radio frequency interference (RFI) in protected bands for radio astronomy. RFI is commonly mitigated at…

The growing level of radio frequency interference (RFI) is a recognized problem for research in radio astronomy. This paper describes an intuitive but powerful RFI cancellation technique that is suitable for radio spectroscopy where…

In this paper, the task of channel sounding using software defined radios (SDRs) is considered. In contrast to classical channel sounding equipment, SDRs are general purpose devices and require additional steps to be implemented when…
