A Quick Update


Hi all, sorry for the blog not being very busy for the last few weeks. I've been incredibly busy with our senior design project, a radio telescope. We've been working on some noise issues and trying to get more gain. Due to our budget and space constraints, we can't make a dipole array as typically seen on amateur radio telescopes. Instead, we're going with a set of active antennae, with preamplifiers on the antenna itself.

So things should start winding down within the next few weeks, and I can start posting at full speed again. I've got a couple posts ready to go out in the next few days, so stay tuned!

Clear skies!
