A low frequency array of simple radio telescopes for the detection of solar x-ray and radio flares and the study of the Ionosphere

Abstract

The thesis: “A low frequency array of simple radio telescopes for the detection of solar X-ray and radio flares, and the study of the ionosphere”, describes the development of antennas, receivers and software for a radio telescope system that captures data from the 16 MHz to 30MHz radio spectrum to a personal computer. Three of these radio telescope systems were established at sites in Perth, Gingin and Learmonth, Western Australia.
