High Noise Degrade Experiment
(December 21st, 2014)
 
This video demonstrates the dramatic noise increase as the Sun, Moon and Sagittarius A, which are all almost perfectly aligned, approach and pass in front of the main antenna lobe. This experiment was purposely conducted during a period of extremely high Sky Noise (3018K) and very high EME "DEGRADE" conditions (-11.2 dB)...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

***WARNING: For Best Resolution, it is critical to select 720p HD resolution in the youtube "settings" at bottom right of the player. The 360p default setting won't yield good enough resolution to see the details. It will take several seconds before the High Resolution kicks in, so you will need to restart the video from the beginning when the High Resolution is active and select to view the video in "Full Screen Mode" for best experience...***
