Usage of the Solar Energy for the Solar Radio Observations with Mobile Antenna Array

Tuesday 17 February 2026, by Corentin Louis

The first results of solar radio observations with broadband (meter-decameter range) compact mobile quickly-deployable antenna array which can operate autonomously in field conditions, i.e. away of stationary alternating current power network, being powered only by solar energy are presented in the paper. We show that within a relatively short period of time nearly all major types of solar radio bursts (including fine structured ones) were detected proving that 25 element mobile PAA possesses sufficient sensitivity for routine solar observations. The main characteristics of the antenna and the solar power station are also given.
