Understanding Radio Telescopes: Dr John Morgan

[@jackdoe552]

As a would-be amateur radio astronomer, this is the best introduction I've found. Complex concepts made clear to the layperson. Great presentation all around.

[@curtinuniversity]

We're so glad it was helpful!

This is one of the best youtube vids on radio astronomy. Thank you for sharing with us!

Bravo, Dr. John and thank you!

NOt one word how EM are converted to viewable imagery, exactly what is the application used to image radio waves?

[@sarcom1]

i serch for the same application used to image radio waves

[@saurabhpegwalsss]

There is no general purpose application for that, the data from radio telescopes is collected and processed using their own generated code/application. That image is an intensity map (single frequency or small set of frequencies) of the signal collected and since the signal is not a visible spectrum signal so colors in the image are totally dependent on the person/team/code/application processing it. Mind you radio telescopes works differently then optical telescope but the final images are produced to have a equal comparison of space we're observing it gives you deeper information of the same space. Like night vision/thermal imaging camera and normal camera clicking picture of the same area in night.

Great presentation. I was very curious about, and happy to learn how the detector works. Thanks to this video, 18 yrs after this lecture, on the other side of the world (US east coast), I have learned quite a bit. Thank you.

[@curtinuniversity]

You're welcome Jeff! Glad it was helpful!

[@JAGzilla-ur3lh]

I've never been clear on how a radio telescope works and I've tried watching a few other videos that explain it. They completely failed to get through to me. This lecture did the trick, though! Excellent presentation by a top tier speaker. Thanks for the info!

[@curtinuniversity]

We're thrilled to hear that our lecture on radio telescopes helped you understand the topic! Thanks for watching and learning with us! 😊📡🌌

[@ElPasoTubeAmps]

An excellent presentation. Thank you.

[@hymanmj]

That was a superb watch. Complex concepts made easy(ish!). Thank you. :)

[@curtinuniversity]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Ravan_R]

Awesome explanation. Really the best. Thank you.

[@sondrayork6317]

I am an amateur radio operator, as well as an aspiring amateur radio astronomer, and I get my information from the NASA radio Jove website. I am more interested in emissions from the planet Jupiter as they are actually kind of cool sounding, and creepy sounding at the same time.

[@shyamrangapure8312]

at 23:04 i didn't understand the reason behind 2000, anyone cares to explain ???

[@saurabhpegwalsss]

He really means "2000 odd" which essentially means 2048 individual spiders

Good information. Thank you

With three, you can triangulate to an image with a parabolic reflector. At the focal plane.

[@jameselger572]

It makes the big ones look nice. 1/4 wavelength spacing, equally spaced.

[@jameselger572]

I want to pick Kepler targets, and some spectral analysis, photon counting for long exposures looking for artificial sources but, not forgetting Photon Scattering to Scale. What can a rocky body not do without intelligent life.

Does anyone know if Radio Telescopes can detect pH of an environment?

Is there anyone in the audience? I never saw the camera EVER look at the audience. The applause sounds just like the the TV.

[@jameselger572]

The Operational Amplifier, or Instrument Amplifier design, eliminates that hiss caused by the circuitry utilizing Common Mode Rejection. We need to redesign these clear through to utilize the highest frequency response transistors available, and use factors of gain controlled stage per stage, with Common Mode Rejection Available, stage per stage with tunable RF Equalizer, for RF, not audio band. Each stage a linear amp of that said detail.

Neutrinos are hard to detect As they don't interact with matter

In trying to learn radio telescopes the info goes from million dollar projects to out of the junk room stuff. 😎 Need some ebay out of the box radio-astronomy hobby kits for quick results.

Hi, Nice video, I want to build my own radio teliscope, my aim is to reproduce the experment which proves big bang theory, can this experiment done using Software defined radio and on small budget like under 100$, pls guide me

[@normangrody9082]

After retiring from the US government (NOAA) I decided to build Dicke radiometers using parts readily available through the internet. In summary, after much experimentation I was able to construct two small radiometers for about $100 each. One operates at about 4 GHz and the other at 12 GHz. The instruments have a noise sensitivity of 1K using a 0.1 second integration time. The instruments contain a feed horn, transducer, pin diode switch, isolator, LNB, temperature compensated detector, AC amplifier and synchronous detector. The transducer, switch and LNB are commercial components while all other components were built using standard circuits. I built the cabinet and feed horn using sheet metal. I can supply a block diagram and circuit diagram if you are interested.

yeah really complicated instead of light and a few mirrors or a lens they use a tx rx transmitter and a dish and they receive radio signals instead of light lmao

Ahhh....he....ahhmmm..he needs some....ahhmmm...classes in...ummmm.... public....aaahhhh ....public speaking.......nice guy...but ummmm....he shouldn't be narrating....aahmmmm....videos. I'm a teacher which means I speak a hell of a lot for living; I work at an international school here in Thailand. I love Astronomy, and take my 8th graders through a section on it each year. I moderate at several Astronomy related sites, I have a background in Electronics (military Microwave Communications, so I have a slight edge on understanding radio telescopes (but was hoping to learn more) ) and so it honestly shames me that I could not finish the vid. The organization that put out this vid, truly, should find another moderator. Let this guy write the script maybe, for technical info, but let someone else read it. Sorry, tough love.

I'm sure this guy is intelligent and all but he seriously needs to take elocution lessons to stop himself pausing between his words and saying 'um' or 'uh' because it sounds very bad and distracting like a speech impediment.
