3306 20180118170608.0 CTALK-2017-0102 Martínez Picar, Antonio Using a small phased array for meteor observations 2017 2017-09-22 A prototype of a phased array of 8 elements is being built at the Humain Radio-Astronomy Station by the Royal Observatory of Belgium. The main goal of this instrument is monitoring the solar activity in the band of 20–80 MHz using Software De ned Radio receivers and employing beam- forming techniques to track the Sun. However, because the operation frequency of the BRAMS forward-scatter system lies within the frequency range of such an array, an appealing window of opportunity opens for meteor science as well. In this paper we explore the possibility of using the expected capabilities of the Small Phased Array Demonstrator to register radio meteor echoes. 2BRAIN_SPADE/ 2BRAIN_SPADE/ 2BRAIN_SPADE NO meteors radio echo phase array Marqué, Christophe International Meteor Conference 2017 - Petnica, Serbia antonio.martinez@observatoire.be http://imc2017.imo.net/ 7884234 http://publi2-as.oma.be/record/3306/files/IMC2017 martinez slides.pdf Slides of IMC 2017 talk about SPADE and radio meteor observations 7035 http://publi2-as.oma.be/record/3306/files/IMC2017 martinez slides.gif?subformat=icon icon Slides of IMC 2017 talk about SPADE and radio meteor observations 9086 http://publi2-as.oma.be/record/3306/files/IMC2017 martinez slides.jpg?subformat=icon-180 icon-180 Slides of IMC 2017 talk about SPADE and radio meteor observations Contributed CTALKCONT
