MEASUREMENT OF SOLAR RADIO RADIATION AT 430 MEGACYCLES.
Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine the state of polarization radiated by the Arecibo antenna, in both the main lobe and the first side lobe. The Arecibo antenna was set to 'linear' during this test, and was aimed at the moon. Echoes were received at Danby. The four success ful runs required to complete the experiment were on August 5, August 29, September 3, and September 26, 1964. The Danby receiver has been used to monitor the sun for a few hours a day while it is near the meridian at Arecibo. The receiver is also being made ready for polarization measurements of solar bursts at 430 Mc. In preparation for the latter two pieces of equipment have been built: a correlator and an audio amplifier with a 90 degree phase shifter.
