Abstract

ASTRON is building the world’s largest radio telescope for low frequencies, LOFAR. LOFAR is optimized for detecting astronomical signals in the 30-80 MHz and 120-240 MHz frequency windows. Since this part of the spectrum is in extensive use by others, a special RFI mitigation strategy is implemented which will be described in the paper. International RFI measurements will be presented and we will focus on practical implementation issues such as the impact of Digital Video Broadcast, RF emissions from power lines and the influence of large wind turbines on the EM environment
