Radio Astronomy, Radio Telescopes And Radio Frequency Interference – Site Visit Brochure
0:00
Welcome to the Karoo, and welcome to the site that is home to the MeerKAT radio telescope, soon to be part of the SKA-Mid radio telescope. This site was handpicked because of how quiet it is. Not just normal quiet, but radio quiet. Think radio silence or, perhaps, radio telescopes. The entire radio astronomy endeavour hinges on how radio frequency (RF) quiet your environment is.
