Defeating Radio Frequency Interference

无线电频谱是一种宝贵的资源。开发最大限度地减少不同用户对彼此影响的技术，允许共享这种资源，将使整个社区受益。特别是对于天文学，共享使用是必不可少的，因为需要非常宽的带宽来获得足够的灵敏度。无线电频谱的使用正在迅速增加，射电望远镜变得越来越灵敏，使问题更加复杂。在该项目下开发的数字信号处理技术将广泛适用，不仅适用于未来的射电天文学设施，如平方公里阵列，而且适用于一般的通信工业。

The radio spectrum is a valuable resource. Development of techniques which minimize the impact of various users on one another, allowing this resource to be shared, will benefit the entire community. For astronomy in particular, shared use is essential because of the very wide bandwidths needed to obtain sufficient sensitivity. Usage of the radio spectrum is increasing rapidly and radio telescopes are becoming more and more sensitive, compounding the problems. The digital signal processing techniques developed under this project will be widely applicable, not only to future radio astronomy facilities such as the Square Kilometer Array, but also to the communications industry generally.
