Improving Radio Signal from Baghdad University Radio Telescope Using the Savitzky-Golay Filter
Main Article Content
Abstract
Astronomical radio observations from a small radio telescope suffer from various types of noise. Hence, astronomers continuously search for new techniques to eliminate or reduce such noise and obtain more accurate results. This research investigates the impact of implementing the Savitzky-Golay filter on enhancing radio observation signals retrieved from the Baghdad University Radio Telescope (BURT). Observations from BURT were carried out for different Galactic coordinates, and then a MATLAB code was written and used to implement the Savitzky-Golay filter for the collected data. This process provides an assessment of the ability of the filter to reduce noise and improve the quality of the signal. The results of this research clearly showed that applying the Savitzky-Golay filter reduces the noise and enhances the signal of astronomical radio observations. However, the filter should be used appropriately to preserve the original features of the signal. In conclusion, the filter is considered an efficient tool for enhancing the radio signal by reducing the noise and smoothing the signal. Therefore, the filter provides a substantial contribution and improvement to the field of radio astronomy.
