Abel, Felix (author), Sundaramoorthy, P.P. (author), Rajan, R.T. (author)Recently, an increase in distributed space systems and a rise in number of nodes in such systems is observed in numerous space applications, for example space-based interferometry. Such applications pose stringent demands on time synchronization which can be challenging to achieve for satellite networks that lack an absolute time reference...conference paper 2022

Mok, S. (author), Guo, J. (author), Gill, E.K.A. (author), Rajan, R.T. (author)Orbiting Low Frequency Array for Radio Astronomy (OLFAR) is a radio astronomy mission that has been studied since 2010 by several Dutch universities and research institutes. The mission aims at producing sky maps by collecting cosmic signals at ultra-low wavelengths regimes, below the 30 MHz frequency band. A satellite swarm comprising more than...conference paper 2020

(author)The inter-satellite link (ISL) in swarm and constellation missions is a key enabler in the autonomy of the mission. OLFAR (Orbiting Low Frequency Array for Radio astronomy) is one such mission where 10 to 50+ nanosatellites are placed in the Lunar orbit and perform astronomical observations from the far-side of the moon. Each of the...conference paper 2019

(author), Karunanithi, Visweswaran (author), Verma, Maneesh (author), Bentum, M (author), Verhoeven, C.J.M. (author)The frequency range below 30 MHz remains one of the last unexplored frequency ranges in radio astronomy However, Earth-based observations at these wavelengths are severely impeded, due to man-made radio frequency interference (RFI) and atmospheric opacity. To overcome this impediment, various space-based radio astronomy studies have been...conference paper 2019

Mouri Sardarabadi, A. (author), van der Veen, A.J. (author), Koopmans, Leon V.E. (author)Having an accurate calibration method is crucial for any scientific research done by a radio telescope. The next generation radio telescopes such as the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will have a large number of receivers which will produce exabytes of data per day. In this paper we propose new direction-dependent and independent calibration...conference paper 2018

Naghibzadeh, S. (author), Mouri Sardarabadi, A. (author), van der Veen, A.J. (author)Image formation using the data from an array of sensors is a familiar problem in many fields such as radio astronomy, biomedical and geodetic imaging. The problem can be formulated as a least squares (LS) estimation problem and becomes ill-posed at high resolutions, i.e. large number of image pixels. In this paper we propose two regularization...conference paper 2016
