射频干扰(RFI)的检测和缓解是射电观测数据处理的第一步,也是关键步骤,特别是对于正在进行的低频射电实验,以检测宇宙黎明和再电离时代(EoR)。在本文中,我们展示了 21 厘米阵列 (21CMA) 的 RFI 识别和缓解技术和效率,21 厘米阵列是一种专用于 EoR 统计测量的无线电干涉仪。对于地面人造射频干扰,我们主要关注统计方法,通过识别然后切除非高斯特征,从某种意义上说,极弱的宇宙信号实际上被埋在热噪声和高斯噪声之下。我们还引入了所谓的能见度相关系数来代替传统的能见度,这可以进一步抑制快速随时间变化的 RFI。最后,我们简要讨论了天空 RFI 的消除、具有时不变功率和无特征频谱的场外强无线电源的旁瓣泄漏。事实证明,最先进的技术应该能够让我们在现有的低频干涉​​仪观测(例如使用 21CMA 获得的观测)中检测和减轻 RFI 到令人满意的水平,并且通过采用低成本、高速计算设备进行数据采集和处理,可以大大提高精度和效率。
Detection and mitigation of radio frequency interference (RFI) is the first and also the key step for data processing in radio observations, especially for ongoing low frequency radio experiments towards the detection of the cosmic dawn and epoch of reionization (EoR). In this paper we demonstrate the technique and efficiency of RFI identification and mitigation for the 21 Centimeter Array (21CMA), a radio interferometer dedicated to the statistical measurement of EoR. For terrestrial, man-made RFI, we concentrate mainly on a statistical approach by identifying and then excising non-Gaussian signatures, in the sense that the extremely weak cosmic signal is actually buried under thermal and therefore Gaussian noise. We also introduce the so-called visibility correlation coefficient instead of conventional visibility, which allows a further suppression of rapidly time-varying RFI. Finally, we briefly discuss removals of the sky RFI, the leakage of sidelobes from off-field strong radio sources with time-invariant power and a featureless spectrum. It turns out that state of the art technique should allow us to detect and mitigate RFI to a satisfactory level in present low frequency interferometer observations such as those acquired with the 21CMA, and the accuracy and efficiency can be greatly improved with the employment of low-cost, high-speed computing facilities for data acquisition and processing.
