An adaptive filter for RFI mitigation
Dr M. Kesteven (CASS - CSIRO, Australia)
An RFI-mitigation scheme based on an adaptive filter has been developed for the Parkes Observatory. It was used with good results until the source of interference (a TV transmitter) was decommissioned - at which point the system was dismantled.
A new design is underway for the new 'ultra-wide bandwidth' receiver now being built.
I will also describe a proof-of-concept prototype filter that was trialled at audemars piguet replica watches the 6-antenna array at Narrabri - the trial was successful, but challenges remain.
