Abstract

Modern studies of solar radio emission are complicated by continuous power amplification and multifrequency external interference, which often completely overlap important frequency ranges. Many topical problems in solar radio astronomy require large effective areas of radio telescopes, high frequency and time resolutions, accurate spatial measurements, and a large dynamic range. It becomes relevant to change the concept of receiving recording equipment. This paper deals with topical problems of the physics of the solar corona in combination with optimal methods of observation with large instruments. The features and difficulties of combining high parameters—dynamic, spatial, temporal, and frequency resolutions—are considered. The proposed solutions of the new-generation observation complex implement the possibilities of intelligent selection of registration conditions in a multioctave mode with multichannel over 8000 channels/GHz with temporary permission up to 8 ms/spectrum. A multiobject observation mode becomes available from powerful flaring objects to faint structures of various nature. High-speed data processing makes it possible to implement an online mode of interference elimination, which is based on a fast statistical analysis of the spectrum with the selection of non-Gaussian (interference) structures. Methods for high-speed analysis of large-volume data (the principal component analysis method) and their presentation to the user are proposed. Examples of the operation of the complex in the range of 1–3 GHz are given. The prospects of a new approach for multiobject radio astronomy observations in the implementation of the RATAN-600 tracking mode are considered: from recombination lines to wide-range spectra, from low-contrast fluctuations to fast changes in flares, etc.
