Funded Activity Summary

New Photonics-based Interference Mitigation Filters for Radioastronomy. This project aims to study new topologies for photonics-based interference mitigation filters for radioastronomy. Its significance is that it will solve, for the first time, the problem of excising RF interfering signals from within the optical signal fibre transport systems conveying radioastronomy signals from phased array antennas. These interference suppressors are key elements in removing strong unwanted man-made signals from terrestrial transmitters and satellites that coexist, and make the detection of the very weak radioastronomy signals extremely difficult. The outcome will be new high-resolution and tunable fibre-based interference suppression filters integrable with the signal transport system, which enhance the sensitivity of radioastronomy phased arrays.
