The Sagamore Hill Sweep Frequency Interferometric Radiometer Used for Solar Studies in the Dekametric Band.

Abstract

A sweep frequency interferometer covering the 25 to 75 MHz range at Sagamore Hill is described. The basic principles of sweep frequency interferometry are discussed. This report also describes the use and design of a Bicone antenna system, phase detector, and fringe width modulation technique-all developed at Sagamore Hill. The types of solar burst activity resolved with the system are reviewed. (Author)
