Radio astronomical data is increasingly corrupted by human telecommunication activities. It is becoming particularly difficult to work at frequencies between 1100-1300 MHz that are rapidly filling up with satellite navigation signals. Therefore, Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) mitigation becomes an important step in the data processing flow. As to the telescopes based on Antenna array, RFI miti...Show More
It is a challenge to measure the antenna pattern of a large-sized radio telescope with a high resolution because it hardly rotates. This letter presents a simple and efficient method to measure the large-sized radio antenna pattern based on correlation techniques and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). We estimate the normalized pattern function of the electric field by utilizing correl...Show More
