Radio Astronomy Measurements Using a GaGe RazorMax Digitizer
Radio Astronomy Measurements Using a GaGe RazorMax Digitizer Introduction Radio astronomy relies on highly sensitive measurements of weak electromagnetic emissions originating from cosmic sources, including galactic hydrogen clouds, star-forming regions, pulsars, and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). These emissions typically fall below 10 GHz, spanning the radio-frequency (RF) and microwave bands. In many cosmological studies—particularly those investigating early-universe star formation—signals of interest are concentrated well below 300 MHz. In the application described here, a customer is monitoring astronomical RF emissions centered near 100 MHz, originating from extremely distant sources. At [...]
