As far as I know, this project is defunt due to RFI issues at the RIT campus. As such, this page is no longer being actively updated. It has been de-linked from my site, but will remain here.
I was involved with a project to build a Radio Telescope at the Rochester Institute of Technology. It was a joint collaboration between the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science and the RIT Physics Department. It will be located at the RIT Observatory.
Once completed, the telescope will be a 2 element radio interferometer. The design in based on the SIMPLE Interferometer. We will be using the receiver kits sold as part of NASA's RadioJove project. We aim to construct an interferometer which can be switched among various baselines, in order to demonstrate the effect of a varrying baseline on the resolution of a radio telescope. The interferometer will also be used in the various astronomy courses taught at RIT.
An undergraduate student at RIT has taken over the project and will be working on it in the future. I will post a link to his website once it is online.
