Radio Interferometry Principles . Radio Interferometry Signal Processing . ... A radio interferometer consists of a pair of directional antennas that are tuned to receive radio emissions from a source in a desired RF band. ... The antennas are pointed at the radio source of interest and are set up to receive the signal and process it into a form suitable for transmission to the correlator. ... In connected element interferometry, the digital signal goes directly to the correlator. ...

It could be that SETI signals have arrived at the Earth, but are lower then the noise level, and our receivers cannot detect them. ... Fig. ... It follows that two zones form around the star with civilization X: "Zone Yes", where its SETI signal can be detected, and "Zone No", where its signals are hidden by noise (Fig. ... In practice, it is more efficient to use a time factor, since the problem of SETI contact does not limit the duration of the signal element and semantic text. ...

The classical Brauer-Siegel theorem states that if $k$ runs through the sequence of normal extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ such that $n_k/\log|D_k|\to 0,$ then $\log h_k R_k/\log \sqrt{|D_k|}\to 1.$ In this talk we will give a brief survey of what is known about the generalizations of this theorem. ... Third, we will dwell on the higher dimensional analogues of the Brauer-Siegel theorem both in the number field and in the function field cases giving an overview of known results and open problems. ...
