Tuning an analog radio or TV between stations also accomplishes this in a more abstract way.
- tocs3 2y agoCould tuning several analog radio receivers between station be used in some sort of synthetic aperture telescope?
- Y_Y 2y agoSounds a bit like Lofar. Stick a few hundred antennas into a field, collect all the raw data, and then do some herculean signal processing and you end up with a fantastic radio telescope that you can "point" retrospectively, e.g. to look at something that just happened in the gamma, before it happened (on a scale of seconds). https://www.astron.nl/telescopes/lofar/ https://www.astron.nl/telescopes/lofar/
- dekhn 2y agoyes, but in an inefficient way, similar to how large clusters with ECC are weak cosmic ray detectors.
