ARCAS

ARCAS is a digital spectrometer based on a Software Defined Radio receiver configured to scan the band 45 - 450 MHz. It produces dynamic spectra with a time resolution of ~84 ms and a native frequency resolution of 98 kHz. It has been set up in late October 2016. ARCAS is connected to a broad-band antenna located on the side of a 6-m dish. The telescope operates automatically and tracks the Sun from approximately 07:30 to 15:30 UT.
