Just a quick update on the software side.
Although the code I published a few days ago is okay for displaying spectrum analysis results in other applications, my research and some testing have led me to conclude that that code is not useful in the field of radio astronomy. This is because it lacks some fundamental functions to obtain meaningful data during the pointing of astronomical objects, including:
- the ability to measure background noise and subtract it from subsequent measurements.
- the ability to integrate a series of measurements to obtain more averaged data with less interference/noise and, likewise, with amplified and visible signal peaks (what we want to see).
I am currently developing another code, which I will publish in the coming days. Stay tuned.
