Spatial filtering of RF interference in radio astronomy.

Spatial filtering of RF interference in radio astronomy.

We investigate spatial filtering techniques for interference removal in multichannel radio astronomical observations. The techniques are based on the estimation of the spatial signature vector of the interferer from short-term spatial covariance matrices followed by a subspace projection to remove t...
