1 Overview of Technical Approaches Robust receivers Edit / excise / blank - frequency / time domain - might lose/corrupt astronomy signal Cancel / subtract / null - identify / characterize / subtract - frequency / time domain - treat RFI as carefully as astronomy signals - goal = keep astronomy (known distortions)
2 Overview of Technical Approaches Edit / excise / blank highly non-linear Cancel / subtract / null doing THIS may exclude this
3 Outline: multi-path scattering ( time-freq equivalence) application of correlation coefficient closure relations (and adaptive filter equivalent) eigen decomposition of correlation matrix ( equiv to array calibration / nulling )

5 Antenna I I(t) = Σ h α (t) * i o (t τ α ) Impulse Response h(t) for each path α Signal radiated by transmitter with DELAY τ α Convolution operator
6 Antenna I I(t) = Σ h α (t) * i o (t τ α ) α I(f) = (Σ G α (f) e- i2π τ αf ) I o (f) Time Domain Frequency Domain = G(f) I o (f)
7 Instrumental constraints Time Domain: must encompass maximum delay T delay Frequency Domain: need frequency resolution f f < 1 / T delay If T delay = D/c = 1 km/c, f < 300 khz <<?
8 multipath summary not fatal for cancellation in frequency domain nor in time domain, with suitable adaptive filters (?? strong airport radars -- Arecibo??)
