摘要: This paper introduces the first results of observations with the Ultra-Long-Wavelength (ULW) -- Low Frequency Interferometer and Spectrometer (LFIS) on board the selenocentric satellite Longjiang-2. We present a brief description of the satellite and focus on the LFIS payload. The in-orbit commissioning confirmed a reliable operational status of the instrumentation. We also present results of a transition observation, which offers unique measurements on several novel aspects. We estimate the RFI suppression required for such a radio astronomy instrumentation at the Moon distances from Earth to be of the order of 80 dB. We analyse a method of separating Earth- and satellite-originated radio frequency interference (RFI). It is found that the RFI level at frequencies lower than a few MHz is smaller than the receiver noise floor.

摘要: A single-layer broadband reflectarray antenna with four-arm spiral elements is presented. Large range reflection phase has been obtained by varying the length of the arms. The effects of different incident angles on the four-arm element are studied first. Then, a 441-element offset-fed linearly polarized reflectarray is fabricated and measured. The measured results agree well with the simulated results. Measured results show the gain level of 28.35 dB with 1-dB gain bandwidth of 28.7% (12.41-16.31 GHz) and aperture efficiency of 60.2% at center frequency of 13.58 GHz.
