Interference Monitoring at Green Bank


An interference monitoring program was conducted with the NRAO 140 Foot telescope from May 1995 to July 1996. The sky frequencies monitored during the program ranged from 50 MHz to 3.4 GHz. The results of the program are presented as spectra of interference amplitude and frequency of occurrrence. With these spectra, one can estimate to what degree interference may adversely impact spectral line observations. Additionally, the spectra can be used to identify relatively clean observing bands for continuum observations.

Notes

More recently a database has been developed to record observed radio frequency interference. It can be accessed by anyone with a Green Bank account.
