Radio Frequency Interference Mitigation for Detection of Extended Sources with an Interferometer
Geoffrey C. Bower ;
Date 1 Dec 2004
Subject astro-ph
AbstractRadio frequency interference (RFI) is a significant problem for current and future radio telescopes. We describe here a method for post-correlation cancellation of RFI for the special case of an extended source observed with an interferometer that spatially resolves the astronomical signal. In this circumstance, the astronomical signal is detected through the auto-correlations of each antenna but is not present in the cross-correlations between antennas. We assume that the RFI is detected in both auto- and cross-correlations, which is true for many cases. The large number of cross-correlations can provide a very high interference to noise ratio reference signal which can be adaptively subtracted from the autocorrelation signals. The residual signal is free of interference to significant levels. We discuss the application of this technique for detection of the spin-flip transition of interstellar deuterium with the Allen Telescope Array. The technique may also be of use for epoch of reionization experiments and with multi-beam feeds on single dish telescopes.
