Culprit and victim management RFI environment for a radio astronomy site

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT:A methodology is developed to manage the large number of RFI Culprits on a new RadioTelescope location such as the South African site being developed in the Karoo, both duringconstruction and ongoing operations. The requirement for RFI control is presented, with briefreference to the more traditional methods used by other Radio Telescope observatories. The newapproach is then presented, based on methods used in the engineering field of LogisticEngineering. Three case studies are used to illustrate how the approach can be applied. Finally,recommendations are made on how the approach can be implemented for new Radio Telescopeprojects.
