AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a radio astronomical receiving system designed for antenna systems operating within the 2-40 GHz frequency range, specifically covering Ka-band, S-band, and X-band. Participants seek clarification on the theoretical aspects of these frequency bands and ongoing research challenges. There is some confusion regarding the initial inquiry, with requests for elaboration on the specific studies related to the receiving system. The conversation also touches on potential language barriers affecting understanding. Overall, the thread highlights the need for clearer communication regarding radio astronomy research and equipment preferences.

We've discussing with students the certain radio astronomical receiving system is designed for equipping the antenna systems, operating within band 2-40 GHz:
Ka - band 28-34 GHz
S - band 2.2-2.6 GHz
X - band 7.0-9.5 GHz

and provides the radio reception, amplification, selection of the operating bands of radio astronomical signals, frequency conversion and frequency-channel switching, etc.

Could somebody clarify theoretic perspective of stading of exactly those bands, problematic, ongoing researches?

Many thanks.

I don't quite understand what you're asking. Could you elaborate on what you'd like to know?

Hello Drakkith,
So perhaps you right. Let's start from afar. What kind of radio astronomical receiving system do you prefer …for which studies?

I don't study astronomy. I just cannot understand your question, perhaps due to translation issues.

I see… I missed a few words. If there any possibilities to change the thread?
 
Start a new thread and I'll delete this one once the new one's made.
 
Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...
