3305 20180118170654.0 POSTER-2017-0042 Martínez Picar, Antonio Building SPADE - Status Update 2017 2017-11-06 A prototype of a phased array of 8 elements is being built at the Humain Radio Astronomy Station by the Solar Influences Data Analysis Center (Royal Observatory of Belgium). The main goal of this instrument is monitoring the solar activity in the band of 20–80 MHz using Software Defined Radio receivers and employing digital beam–forming techniques in order to track the Sun and reject possible radio frequency interference sources. We will present the current status of the construction of SPADE (Small Phased Array Demonstrator), whose first light is expected before the end of 2017. 2BRAIN_SPADE/ 2BRAIN_SPADE/ 2BRAIN_SPADE NO solar radio observations instrument building phased array Marqué, Christophe Magdalenić, Jasmina International Workshop on Solar, Heliospheric and Magnetospheric Radioastronomy - Meudon, France antonio.martinez@observatoire.be https://jlsworkshop.sciencesconf.org/ 13560766 http://publi2-as.oma.be/record/3305/files/20171107_Meudon_amp_poster.pdf Poster of SPADE for J-L Steimberg Conference at Meudon, Paris 24879 http://publi2-as.oma.be/record/3305/files/20171107_Meudon_amp_poster.gif?subformat=icon icon Poster of SPADE for J-L Steimberg Conference at Meudon, Paris 24958 http://publi2-as.oma.be/record/3305/files/20171107_Meudon_amp_poster.jpg?subformat=icon-180 icon-180 Poster of SPADE for J-L Steimberg Conference at Meudon, Paris CPOSTER
