RF Front-End for SEAMS

The opacity of ionosphere at the lower frequencies (less than 16 MHz) restricts astronomy through ground based radio telescopes. A space based solution for this problem is being explored for many years. This will open a new unexplored region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It will facilitate the study of the low frequency solar radiation and radio emission from planets. Previous attempts of space based radio astronomy such as Missions like RAE1 [1] and RAE2 have gathered low frequency astronomical data. Several other instruments such as STEREO-A and STEREO-B, WIND/WAVES, CASSINI [2-3], etc have also been used to observe the low frequency radio emissions.
